An abacus. The roman abacus worked on the same principle as the Japanese abacus, but looked very different.
The Japanese one had a number of beads strung on wires, grouped in twos and fives. The roman one was a small slab of stone, with small round depressions cut into the surface. These were arranged in straight lines and grouped in twos and fives. The Romans put pebbles into the depressions, and manipulated them in just the same way as the Japanese did their beads, though rather more slowly.
If you know roman numerals, you will know that they are grouped in twos and fives. Incidentally, the latin word for pebble is calculus. So, the word calculate . . .
