0 was a concept not yet inducted into the Roman numeral system. Their numeral system was largely based on the Greeks' notion of numbers as counting quantities, and technically you can't "count" zero things. Thus, they had no need for any such number.

Just like you can't divide by zero, try putting it into a calculator and you receive an error. There is a difference between 7/0 and 0/7.

The zero was 'invented' by Arab merchants who spread the idea through their trading in the late Dark Ages.

"In general, the number zero did not have its own Roman numeral, but a primitive form (nulla) was known by medieval computists (responsible for calculating the date of Easter). They included zero (via the Latin word nulla meaning "none") as one of nineteen epacts, or the age of the moon on March 22. The first three epacts were nullae, xi, and xxii (written in minuscule or lower case). The first known computist to use zero was Dionysius Exiguus in 525. Only one instance of a Roman numeral for zero is known. About 725, Bede or one of his colleagues used the letter N, the initial of nullae, in a table of epacts, all written in Roman numerals."
