Roman numerals were the symbols developed by the Ancient Romans for counting and other numbering activities. The Romans used them because they developed them and that was what they knew. What do you use numbers for? They used them for the exact same things, instead of the kind of numbers we use, which are known as Arabic numerals.
The Romans did not have the concept of zero-- there is no Roman numeral for zero. This lack made it virtually impossible to do arithmetic with Roman numerals and that is why we use Arabic numerals nowadays.
Romans used Roman numerals as their form of numbers. Romans needed Roman Numerals because they needed numbers to count, tell time, and do other things in life that involved numbers. Roman numerals were used because they could all be scribed using a flat chisel i.e X I V M.

Modern Romans use Roman numerals about as infrequently as the rest of the western world. Arabic numerals was much easier to use for all purposes, so the old Roman numerals are used only in formal notices like foundation stones, and often, not even then. In ancient times, before Arabic numerals were introduced to Europe, the ancient Romans used Roman numerals for all activities that required counting or arithmetic. That included commercial transactions, accounting (such as it was), calendars, etc.
