Er...did the Romans have a zero? I don't think they had the concept.
I used to laugh at the tortured roman numeral sequences used as we  
approached the the end of the last millenium, to represent the year. I  
was assured that these 'followed the rules' - I used to point out that  
the numerals were designed to be incised in stone and the rule would  
have been - 'shortest form is best'.
