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

Why don't you use roman numerals now?

Because the Romans didn't understand the concept of the number "Zero". If there is nothing, then why bother writing it down? The Arabs, whose sumeric system we use, were very advanced in math and came up with the concept that the number zero can be used in equations and calculations. So we use that system instead of the Roman system. ...that and the Romans didn't have decimals.
