The Egyptians wrote numbers using the Arabic numeral system (our system) and the Romans used the Roman numeral system. (IVXLCDM)
As the Romans would write it: XXXX, as we usually write it: XL, written in decimal arabic: 40.
No. The ancient Romans didn't have numerals for ordinal numbers. If they wanted to write first they would have to write out the word 'primus', for second, 'secundus' and so on.
Today we would write it out as CXCIX but the Romans themselves probably wrote it out in an abridged version as ICC (200-1)
In today's notation of Roman numerals: MMCDLXXXVI but the Romans themselves would have probably chosen MMCCCCLXXXVI
2702 = MMDCCII

In today's terms it is MMDCCCXCI but the Romans themselves would have probably written it out as MMDCCCLXXXXI.
In todays terms: MCMXC But the Romans probably wrote it out simply as XMM (2000-10)
They plagiarised their system of symbols for counting, with some modifications, from the Etruscans who first thought of them.
It could be: (M)M which means 1,000*1,000*1,000 = 1,000,000,000 But in all reality the ancient Romans had little need for such huge numbers
