We still use Roman numbers today. One place where you often see Roman numbers is on a clock face. We generally make use of less of Roman Numerals.3604262 in roman numerals is MMMDCMMMMCCLXII.
A nought figure is not needed in the Roman numeral system because the positional place value of these numerals are self evident. A nought figure is needed in the Arabic numeral system (the numbers we use today) to identify the positional place value of these numerals.
Lack of a zero symbol for positional place value purposes.

Yes and the positional place values of the numerals are self evident that's why a zero symbol was not needed for positional place value purposes which is essential in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system.
Roman Numerals are much longer and don't have place value or anything equal to Zero. Also, it is much, much harder to use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with roman numerals, unless you are either really clever, or allreay know the answer off by heart.

In Roman numerals, "W" does not represent any specific value. Roman numerals use letters such as I, V, X, L, C, D, and M to represent different values. The largest value represented by a single letter in Roman numerals is 1,000, which is represented by the letter "M".
Because they contained a zero figure for positional place value purposes which made calculations more easier and straightforward.
Some use roman numerals because some doesn't know numbers, so instead it is roman numerals.
Yes the Romans had a symbol for zero which was N but there was no need to use it because the positional place value of Roman numerals are self explanatory. For example to write out 501 we need to include a zero to represent its real value but the equivalent of 501 in Roman numerals is DI which does not require a zero symbol.
The Romans did not use place value as they had no numeral for zero. In the Hindu/Arabic system, which most of the world uses, one followed by zero becomes ten and if an additional zero is added it become a hundred. In the Roman system of numerals 1 = I and 10 = X and 100 = C. So, as you can see there are no place values just different numerals for different values.
