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.
