I don't know any other system that could be used to replace it. If you aren't going to use it what would you use? If you have a suggestion let us all know.

After a little more thought .... look at an example
4379 is a nice compact, easily understood notation.
there are a couple of alternatives
Alternative #1 -- 4000+300+70+9 means the same thing, but it takes more space.
Alternative #2 -- Four thousand three hundred seventy nine, using words, but that is what I say in my mind when I interpret the place value system for 4379.
What I'm trying to say is out of these 3 alternatives the numeral/place value system is nice and compact, easily understood, and easy to work with after you spend a little time to learn it which usually happens in grade (grammar) school.
Place value is not used in the Roman numeral system.
The Place Value System Originated From The Indus Valley civilization I Think.
Yes and a nought figure is not needed to represent the positional place value of Roman numerals because their positional place values are self evident.
In each place value there are only 10 digits that can be placed, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0. At that point then next place value is used. A different place value system in computers is the based two system. Its number system goes like this 0=0 1=1 10=2 11=3 100=4
It is O because it's not needed in the Roman numeral system for place value purposes as the place value of the numerals are self evident

The Romans didnt use the place value system
Why is 10 important in our place value system

No, the Roman numeral system is not a place value system. In the Roman numeral system, each individual symbol represents a specific value, and there is no concept of place value. Place value systems, such as the decimal system, rely on the position of digits within a number to determine their value.
yes
The 'zero' symbol is used as a place value holder,and it can hold any place.
It is used for positional place value purposes so as for example to show that 203 is larger than 23
It has a place value system
