They didn't because it was the Etruscans that did and presumably it meant a double V (5) which is X (10).

The Roman numeral system originated from the Etruscan numeral system and the Etruscans once ruled the Romans.

What does XXIIV represent in Roman numerals?

In Roman numerals, XXIIV does not represent a valid number. The Roman numeral system typically uses letters to represent numbers, with I representing 1, V representing 5, and X representing 10. When a smaller numeral precedes a larger one, it is subtracted from the larger numeral. In this case, XXIIV would be interpreted as 10 (X) + 10 (X) + 1 (I) + 1 (I) + 5 (V), which would be incorrect.
