In brief, this system of numeracy had nothing to do with the Romans because the system was conceived by the mysterious Etruscans who once ruled the Romans.
After the Romans gained their independence from the Etruscans they kept this system of numeracy which became later known as Roman numerals.
The way we write out Roman numerals today differs in many respects to how the Romans actually did themselves.
The real rules governing the Roman numeracy system were changed in the Middle Ages presumably to make Roman numerals more compatible with Hindu-Arabic numerals that were being introduced into Western Europe at the time.
