I said “....1000 was the largest number the Romans had and would use the word for 1000 or any amount bigger then a 1000....”

I should of said largest unit of numbers. Even all the examples you gave me were given in that x amount of that unit, I hope I said that right.

The next major unit of measurement would be a million which if I’m correct the Romans didn’t have a concept of that or at least the average Roman didn’t or talk like that. I hope you understand what I’m saying.

Perhaps, but Revelation didn’t use roman numerals, it used greek numerals, which are a decimal system that uses greek letters instead of distinct numeric characters. You can express any value in greek numerals, just like with our own decimal system.
