A zero symbol
E is not used as a symbol in the roman numeral system.
F is not used as a symbol in roman numeral system
Because of the introduction of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system during the Middle Ages which was more efficient than the Roman numeral system inasmuch that it contained a zero symbol.
A nought symbol.
Zero and decimal point are both missing

A nought symbol.
We still use Roman numerals to a certain extent today but the Roman numeral system was replaced by the Hindu-Arabic numeral system because it contained a zero symbol thus making arithmetical operations a lot easier whereas the Roman numeral system has no zero symbol and mathematical operations were much more difficult.
Zero and decimal point are both missing
A 0 symbol is not needed to carry out calculations in the Roman numeral system. Whereas in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system a 0 symbol is essential to carry out calculations. The Romans would have used an abacus counting device to make any intricate calculations.
It is: 11 = XI as a Roman numeral

there is no roman numeral for itAnother answer: The Romans had no numeral to represent zero because there was no need for a zero in their system. We have 9 numbers plus the zero symbol. We add a zero on to the end of a number to convert it to tens and two zeros to convert it to hundreds and so on. The Romans simply had different symbols for tens and hundreds. For example we would write 1, 10, 20, 40, 50, 100 and 200 but the same numbers as Roman numerals would be I, X, XX, XL, L, C and CC, done quite simply with no need for a zero. In the middle ages monks, who still used Roman numerals and wrote in Latin, began to used the symbol N to represent zero (from the Latin Nullae meaning nothing).
A nought symbol because it's not needed in the Roman numeral system because the place value of Roman numerals are self evident. But a nought symbol is essential in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system for positional place value purposes.
