| | Roman Numerals |
| | The Roman numbering system also lives on in our languages, which still use Latin word roots to express numerical ideas. | | | The system they developed lasted many centuries, and still sees some specialized use today. | | | The big differences between Roman 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. |
