No, real place value developed as we know it with the system we use now. However, the Romans came up with a creative way of letting you know if something was lower than the actual number after it. Like XL means 40, IV means 4, and so on.

Hi. No, the concept of the absence of value was realized by the Mayans but not the Romans.
