Yes.

They used letters to represent the numbers.

I = 1

V = 5

X = 10

L = 50

C = 100

D = 500

M = 1000

To write 3, they marked down III or three ones.

To write 4, they marked down IV, or 'one less than five'.

To write 49, they marked IL, or 'one less than fifty'.

To write 106, they wrote CVI, or 'one hundred plus five plus one'.

And so on.
