What notation system replaced roman numerals and why did it replace roman numerals?
Systems which use abbreviations for repetitions of symbols (e.g. Hieratic numerals, Chinese numerals). Then that was replaced with the Hindu-Arabic numeral system (0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ...... the system we use today) superceded the Roman numeral system because the four operations of arithmetic was easier to work out i.e. addition, subtraction, division and multiplication.
