Roman Beads
What is the ancient Roman Abacus like?

Is it like the chinese abacus? Do the beads stick to the abacus?

I looked this up on google using "abacus roman"
It brings up some historical references to a Roman "hand abacus" that used beads that ran in slots. It's possible the Roman abacus predated the Chinese one, and the design of the abacus suggests the Romans were familiar with positional notation and the concept of zero, though it was not reflected in their written numerical notation.
