If you mean roman numerals, it was used to count things as they found that it was hard to count things using their fingers. So they used the roman numerals to count things while all of the "symbols" represent their fingers such as the I for 1 finger while V represents your hand when spread and X when both hands are together.

I=1

V=5

X=10

The Romans had their own Roman numeral system. They did not have an overall name for their currency and used the names of their numerous coins, such as the denarius, serstetius, as, aureus, solidus, argenteus, etc.
