Roman Numerals
The history of Roman numerals and Roman mathematics isn't well documented. As humans likely began counting by using the simplest things available, the fingers, mathematics developed in a base unit of 10. Actively involved in trade and the use of monetary units, the Romans required a system where counting was more than fingers. The development of the numeric symbols may have been closely related, originally, to the shape of the hand: I for a single finger, V for the whole hand outstretched, X for both hands in the same manner.

Roman Numeral :
I ; Unus, -a, -um = One
This came from the Romans symbolizing the letter ‘ I ‘ for one finger.

Roman Numeral 4 :
Quattuor = Four
The reason why four is not symbolized as IIII if the letter in front of it expresses greater amount you subtract the 2.
This also represented the Roman God Jupiter.

Roman Numeral :
Quinque = Five
The symbol for 5 which is a V came from the romans. It’s meant to symbolize all 5 fingers.

Roman Numeral : VI
Sex = Six
Since the number is above 5, you have to use the V to symbolize 5 and then add additional numerals to equal the number your expressing.
