They needed to tax the citizens and peasants. The I for 1 was a chalk mark or notch on wood or stone. The V for 5 could be made with 2 notches the X for 10 likewise The C for 100 is the abbreviation of centum (100) the M for 1000 is the abbreviation of mille (1000)
The Romans used Roman numerals because that was their way of calculating. Roman numerals are really very simple and straightforward. For example, the I = 1, no problem there. Three I's - 3. C = 100, the Latin abbreviation for centum , M - 1000, the Latin abbreviation for mille. For us it takes a bit of figuring out, but for the Romans it was simple; if a person could count, he could read numbers.
