The Greco-Roman civilization had a limited numerical system. It had no zero or placeholder-only nine numerals. The Arab civilization also
used a nine-digit system until they came into contact through trade with the Hindus of India during the Middle Ages. The Arabs learned that the
Hindus had a number system with nine numerals and a "sift," which was symbolized by a zero or a dot. The Arabs borrowed that numerical system
and eventually exported it to the western world through their colony in Spain.
