How did the Romans come up with the notation of Roman numerals?
They needed to tax the citizens and peasants. The I for 1 was a chalk mark or notch on wood or stone. The V for 5 could be made with 2 notches the X for 10 likewise The C for 100 is the abbreviation of centum (100) the M for 1000 is the abbreviation of mille (1000)The Romans used Roman numerals because that was their way of calculating. Roman numerals are really very simple and straightforward. For example, the I = 1, no problem there. Three I's - 3. C = 100, the Latin abbreviation for centum , M - 1000, the Latin abbreviation for mille. For us it takes a bit of figuring out, but for the Romans it was simple; if a person could count, he could read numbers.
