The Brahmi numeral system is the Indian numeral system that is the direct ancestor of the Hindu-Arabic numeral systems that we use today. The earliest attestation dates from around the 3rd century BCE, but it was probably in use before then. The Roman numerals are thought to have evolved around the same time period. There appears to be some link with the Attic numerals, which may mean both Roman (which inherits from the Greek) and the Brahmi numerals have a common ancestry, possibly Mesopotamian, however there is no concrete evidence at this point. The current accepted theory is that they evolved separately.
