    Roman numerals don't even have zero, so we should only use positive numbers.

    No. How many Roman numerals are there?
    Without zero you need infinite symbols.
    Zero has a math purpose.
    It sets bases to compact quantity representation.
    How could your calculator do without it?

    Well, there's I, V, X, L, C, D, M

    Without zero you need infinite symbols.

    Zero has a math purpose.

    I guess in Rome they used " " for zero :-)

    They used special Roman calculators that had a
    divide and conquer function.
