The first recorded zero appeared in Mesopotamia around 3 B.C. The Mayans invented it independently circa 4 A.D. It was later devised in India in the mid-fifth century, spread to Cambodia near the end of the seventh century, and into China and the Islamic countries at the end of the eighth.

Missy, it wasn't considered a number. It was called Nulla meaning there was nothing to count rather than giving it a value of zero.

India was the first country to use a zero to denote tens, hundreds, thousands etc.

Nulla means zero. So doesn't that mean the Romans had a meaning of zero?
