Roman numerals are suitable for carving foundation years into stone, but they are not well suited for doing mathematical calculations.
Addition can be done with Roman numeral with a reasonable amount of effort if you are adding only two or three small numbers together. Subtraction is much more difficult and multiplication and division are almost impossible. The higher forms of mathematics, such as algebra, calculus, statistics, numerical analysis, topology, etc, could not have even been invented if Roman numerals were all we had.
Roman numerals are still used today to some extent but they were replaced by the Hindu-Arabic numeral system during the Middle Ages whose numerals we still use today which are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9.
