Did the Romans have a symbol for zero? - Answers

Yes they did and it looked like the letter N and its Latin name is "nullae" meaning nothing. Unlike the Hindu-Arabic numeral system the Roman numeral system does not need a zero figure for positional place value purposes because the place value of theses numerals are self evident. For example in Roman numerals DCVI is obviously 606 but in the Hindu-Arabic system a nought figure is needed to distinguish 66 from 606.
