The Romans were indeed very good mathematicians. However, they tended to study only what is now called "applied math." They wanted to be able to use their knowledge to build the wonderful roads and bridges you mentioned.
The Roman calculations were done on a board with grooves and holes. I've tried to draw the board below, and indicate the place values each groove and hole had.
-- -- -- -- | | | | | | | | | | -- | | -- | | -- | | | || | | || | | || || | | | -- | | -- | | -- | | | | | | | | | | -- -- -- -- M D C L X V I
On this board, they would place pebbles, "calculi" in Latin. This brings us to one of the Roman contributions to math: the words "calculate", and "calculus" both come from this origin. They would place one pebble in the appropriate place for each letter in their numeral. Other pebbles could be added to them representing another addend. The pebbles would have to be rearranged so no more than 4 were in a groove, or no more than 1 in a hole. They manipulated the pebbles to do all their calculations.
