The Romans did not have a symbol for 0. We use it to mulitpy a number by 10, 100, 1000 etc but the Romans had specific numerals for these values, X, C and M, they did not tack a zero onto the end of numbers. Apparently the symbol N for Nullae (nothing) was used in later times by monks, to express a value of zero when they were writing in Roman numerals.
