In Roman Britain where we using Roman Numerals to do our sums?

Answer 1

It was almost impossible to do sums with Roman numerals. All the clever people were using the greek/arabic numerals. The 1 to 9 and a zero that we use today.

Answer 2

In the times of the Roman occupation of England only the wealthy ( mostly noblemen ) could read and write. They became more Roman than the real Romans.
Roman togas were worn. Connections were made at the lavish bath houses. All documents and records were in Latin. Yes numerals were used.
The ordinary people were Celts ( Kelts ). Few were able to read, and not many learned the Latin language. The Roman name for the Celts was Galls. That's why the language of the Irish is called Galic. J. Caesar in writing about the French people said, " Ipsorum lingue Kelti, nostra Galli appelatur ".

Answer 3

Roman numerals were used in math as the romans used the numerals in math and they controlled the country.
HOWEVER, most of the native British were not taught math.
They were taught land management and road building to improve their lives. Of course some of them had introductions to Lions in an arena but that almost never worked out well!

Answer 4

Yes with some dificulty as the Romans did not have the zero. This came later with the introduction of the Arabic numerals which we still have to day

Answer 5

The Arab numeric system started to be introduced to Europe via Moorish Spain a thousand years ago. Until then all Europe including 'Britain' used the old Latin (Roman) system.

So yes we did.

Answer 6

Perhaps concentrate first on learning English and logic.

Your sentence has no verb, merely a present participle.

Did you mean "were" rather than "where."

Everyone in Britain who was educated prior to 1971 could do very complicated mathematical caculations in their heads. Mental arithmetic was a large part of primary education due to the duodecimal money and imperial system of weights and measures. Roman numerals presented few difficulties in comparison.

Answer 7

I think the burning question is, what did the Romans call Roman numerals?
Numerals presumably?

Answer 8

If I told you X time, I've told you C times, I do not know where Roman Britain is!

Answer 9

yes we were up until the 16th century then we adopted the indian version after all they did invent the zero and that changed the world of maths.

Answer 10

if they did it would only be all those below the border to scotland as the romans never invaded us :)
