The Romans probably wrote it out as (((M)))(X) because:-

Numerals in single brackets indicate multiplication by a 1,000, numerals in treble brackets indicate multiplication by 100,000 and superscript numerals indicate multiplication by that particular numeral value.

Hence:-

(((M)))(X) = 100,000*1,000*1,000*10 = 1,000,000,000,000 or as 1.0*1012 in standard notation
