As I was reading my materials for Maths 310, I discovered that the Romans were super intelligent on the conquest of dividing and conquering the world but were extremely idiotic when it comes to counting livestock and sack of grains. The Romans did ABSOLUTEY nothing in Mathematics!
When a Roman could not avoid calculations then he would resolve to an abacus and write the results in Roman numerals which were cumbersome and clumsy looking. This was illustrate in one of the ancient inscription of -260 whereby the number 2, 300, 000 was represented by 23 copies of the same symbol that represents 100, 000.
I had the laugh of my life.
