Those people dealt with the sexadecimal matemathical system which use a 60 digit base. with that they could keep track of time.
People have tried to decimalise the measurement of time - most famously, the French Revolutionary time - but the 60:60:24 system is too well established.
One weakness of the Roman numeral system is that it does not have a concept of zero or negative numbers. It also lacks a consistent base or place value system, which can make complex calculations difficult. Additionally, the system can be cumbersome and time-consuming to write and read, especially for larger numbers.
Only three countries still cling to the "English" system, whereas the whole world uses metric. The SI units were established in 1960 as part of a review of the metric system used at the time; it uses metric units because it is the current version of the metric system.
They used numerals because that was the system which they gradually developed over a long period of time. If someone had introduced them to the current system of numbers they would probably have used that instead, they just didn't know about it.
There are seven base units in the SI:* meter for length* kilogram for mass* kelvin for temperature* ampere for current* second for time* candela for luminous intensity* mole for amount of substance
In international system the base unit of time is second.
The International System of Units (SI) consists of seven base units: kilogram (mass), meter (length), second (time), ampere (electric current), kelvin (temperature), mole (amount of substance), and candela (luminous intensity). These base units form the foundation for all other units in the system.
The base unit of time in the SI system is the second.
It would be unity, or 1.0. Since the voltage in a DC circuit does not vary with time, there can be no phase displacement of the current waveform, and therefore the current could not lead or lag the voltage waveform.

by having it there
If time was not included in the system of base units, we would not be able to measure the duration of events or the rate of change. This would severely restrict our ability to describe motion, processes, and other dynamic phenomena accurately. Time is a fundamental quantity that is essential for understanding the relationships between different variables in physics and other sciences.
The periodic time of an alternating-current system is the is the time in seconds that has to elapse before the waveform repeats itself from its beginning to the end. It is denoted as the Period (T).
The International System of Units, abbreviated as SI from its French title, is a form of the metric system. It is a system of units of measurement which are based on seven base units. Conventionally, the 7 base units are:kilogram (mass)meter (distance)second (time)ampere (electric current)kelvin temperature)mole (amount of chemical substance)candela (luminous intensity).
The base unit of time is the second.
The sexagesimal system (base 60).
