Best Answer

The ancient Romans had no real need for such large numbers but if needed they could increase their numerals by a system of brackets and superscripted numerals in a similar way that we use exponents today as follows:-

((DCC))M which would mean 10*1,000*800*1,000 = 8,000,000,000

Note single brackets multiply numerals by 1,000 whereas double brackets multiply numerals by 10,000 and superscripted numerals indicate multiplication by that particular numeral.
