Fake history tells us, that the Romans did not know the number zero. That tells me, that the Romans are totally fake. They had great engineers and catapults without knowing the number 0? You can tell that to some child in Kindergarten, but hey not to a self thinker.
Anatoli Timofejewitsch Fomenko, the great Russian mathematician, debunked Roman history 30 years ago and not only that.
Latin is a new language, developed for the Roman Church, not older than 300 years. In German it writes Lateinisch = late invented in Switzerland (Monastery of St. Gall). The whole grammar of " latin" is like German ( see Robert Baldauf). In St. Gall they found many copies of the so called Roman writers.
Romans had the concept of "nil" (nihil, null). That means nothing.
Nothing is the clean slate, with nothing on it. A tablet with no numerals, or a tally stick with no tallies.
