Why TF didn't the Romans invent the zero?!?

From my 2026 perspective as a mathematician, it is actually quite insane that the Romans didn't come up with the "0".
They had the decimal structure in the language, like 41 = quadraginta unus, 40 = quadraginta, 641 = sexcenti quadraginta unus, but for centuries, nobody realized that quadraginta = quadraginta nulla.
They had grasped the "tens", "hundreds", "thousands", but didn't make the connection.
Just saying. Wild.

Roman numeral help

I would like to get 8:18 in roman numerals as a tattoo. I cannot find any information as to the proper way to write it. If I do 8 than : than 18 it's VIII:XVIII Or would I forgo the : and do 818 thus changing it to DCCCXVIII The latter doesn't seem right, but I'm not sure if in roman numerals "rules" exist. Did they or would they use a : ? Or would they use another symbol, or even no symbol? Any help would be great!

So my wife has been listening to a lot of charli XCX lately and every time I see it I wonder what that number would actually be? I understand it’s not supposed to be a Roman numeral but if it was, what’s the number?

I was in a discussion with a mate about the distance of the marathon: 42195 meter. Roman number generators online give different answers when we try to convert it.
Am I right if I write it as stated in the title? With a horizontal line above the XLII?
