The Babylonians used base 60 (hexadecimal) instead of our base 10 (decimal) or base 2 (binary). The Romans used a complicated scheme using I, V, X, C, D and M. This severely impeded their ability to do arithmetical calculations. Arabic scholars invented the idea and usage of zero, leading finally to what became our modern system.
