16 It was the most advanced numeracy system in the ancient known world
17 It's still used today albeit misrepresented
18 It makes mathematical sense when represented properly
19 It needed only 5 symbols at one time because (I) = 1000 and I) = 500
20 It can sometimes be abridged thus using less numerals but of equal value
21 Its symbols follow a regular pattern of ... 5, 2, 5, 2, 5, 2 ...
22 Its 7 main symbols today are: I, V, X, L, C, D and M
23 It therefore follows that even today it still has many advantages
