In addition to numerals to represent integers the Romans did have symbols to represent fractions to a limit extent which were fractions of twelve:

. = 1/12, : = 2/12, :. = 3/12, :: = 4/12, ::. = 5/12, S = 6/12

S. = 7/12, S: = 8/12, S:. = 9/12, S:: = 10/12, S::. = 11/12, SS = 12/12

So: 10 and 3/4 in Roman numerals and fractions would be XS:.

The Latin word for the symbol S is semis which means a half.

Latin was the official language of the Romans.
