They only used fractions of 1/12 which are:-
., :, :., ::, ::., S, S., S:, S:., S::, S::. and SS = I which means 1/12, 2/12/, 3/12, 4/12, 5/12, 6/12, 7/12, 8/12, 9/12, 10/12, 11/12 and 6/12+6/12 = 1
We still use them today because there are 12 inches in a foot

Romans commonly used a combination of whole numbers, smaller fractions, and symbols to write fractions. The numerator (top number) was written as a whole number or smaller fraction, and the denominator (bottom number) was typically indicated by a symbol like "⁄" or "S" (semis), meaning half, or "D" (dupondius), meaning second. For example, 3⁄4 could be written as III⁄IIII.
