As the name says, Roman numerals were developed by the Romans (or probably the Latins more in general). It is not known when they were established.The history of Roman numerals is not well documented and written accounts are contradictory. It is thought that they gradually developed from a tally system where tally marks were carved on wooden tally sticks which was in use in archaic Italy. This system was in use by shepherds in Italy until the 19th century. It seems that it developed as a system of making the number indicated by these tallies more recognisable. It was also influenced by elements from the Greek alphabet. With the development of the Latin alphabet, letters from this alphabet were introduced to simplify the system.
The Roman numerals must have been in use been in use by the first few centuries B.C. and reached their final format under the reign of the emperor Augustus (late 1st century B.C/early 1sr century A.D.)

Why do the Romans make up the Roman numerals?
Ancient Romans developed the Roman numeral system as a tracking and counting system. The various symbols (I, V, X, L, C, D, M, etc) were derived from both the base shorthand notation (the "I" was probably a single stroke originally, designating one) and from the Latin words for the number (such as "C" from "centus", meaning "one hundred"). However, the Roman system has limitations - there are only so many numbers that can be written in Roman numerals and there is no concept of "zero". Shifting from Roman numerals to Arabic (modified Hindu) numerals as is used today throughout the developed world led to significant advancements in mathematics.
