| | <<b>bb>>Romanb>bb>> numerals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The lack of a zero digit prevented <<b>bb>>Romanb>bb>> numerals from developing into a positional notation, and led to their gradual replacement by Arabic numerals in the early second millennium. | | | In general, the number zero did not have its own <<b>bb>>Romanb>bb>> numeral, but the concept of zero as a number was well known by all medieval computists (responsible for calculating the date of Easter). | | | <<b>bb>>Romanb>bb>> numerals remained in common use until about the 14th century, when they were replaced by Arabic numerals (thought to have been introduced to Europe from al-Andalus, by way of Arab traders and arithmetic treatises, around the 11th century). |

| | <<b>bb>>Romanb>bb>> Numerals |
| | The <<b>bb>>Romanb>bb>> numbering system also lives on in our languages, which still use Latin word roots to express numerical ideas. | | | The big differences between <<b>bb>>Romanb>bb>> and Arabic numerals (the ones we use today) are that Romans didn't have a symbol for zero, and that numeral placement within a number can sometimes indicate subtraction rather than addition. | | | The Romans were active in trade and commerce, and from the time of learning to write they needed a way to indicate numbers. |

| | Alphabets: A Brief Introduction |
| | There are numerous other alphabets in use today that are descended from the Phoenician alphabet but not from the <<b>bb>>Romanb>bb>> alphabet. | | | The Romans wrote numbers with seven letters of the alphabet (i.e., <<b>bb>>Romanb>bb>> numerals) rather than with the Arabic numerals that are almost universally used today. | | | The most common example is Arabic numerals, each of which has the same meaning regardless of which language or dialect it is used in and how it is pronounced. |

| | Greek alphabet - definition of Greek alphabet in Encyclopedia |
| | In ancient Greece, its letters were also used to represent numbers, called Greek numerals, in analogy with <<b>bb>>Romanb>bb>> numerals. | | | The most notable change, compared to its predecessor, the Phoenician alphabet, is the introduction of vowels, without which Greek — unlike Phoenician — would be unintelligible. | | | In fact many alphabets that contain vowels, notably the Latin alphabet and Cyrillic alphabet, are derived ultimately from Greek. |
