Counting Before and After

Dr. Burton got really excited about numeral systems in class today, and while many of us mentioned the images of the counting systems for our civilizations, no one created has a post about it (actually, it probably wasn't ever directly related to what we were talking about, but whatever). Since we all have at least a little familiarity with Roman numerals, and because numbers were important to the Romans, I figured I'd do a brief post on them.
