Yes but unlike the Hindu-Arabic numeral system which requires a 0 symbol for positional place value purposes the Roman numeral system does not need a 0 symbol because the positional place value of these numerals are self evident.

A nought figure is not needed in the Roman numeral system because the positional place value of these numerals are self evident. A nought figure is needed in the Arabic numeral system (the numbers we use today) to identify the positional place value of these numerals.
