 Times (New) Roman and...
"Times Roman" is the name used by Linotype, and the name they registered as a trademark for the design in the U.S. "Times New Roman" was and still is the name used by The Monotype Corporation.
The story of "The Times New Roman" can be found in Stanley Morison's A Tally of Types, published by Cambridge University Press, with additional, though not quite the same, versions in Nicolas Barker's biography of Stanley Morison, and in James Moran's biography of SM.
During the same period, Adobe upgraded its version of Times, using digital masters from Linotype, which of course claimed that it had a superior version, so there was a kind of competition to see who had the most refined, sensitive, original, genuine, bona-fide, artistically and typographically correct version.

Times, he explains, was originally designed for newspaper columns, and "has fl and exaggerated forms for better readability at even small point sizes."

 Units: Roman and "Arabic" Numerals
Nonetheless, the Roman symbols for numbers continue to be used in a variety of ways, most of them rather stereotyped: to mark the hours on clock faces, to number pages in the prefaces of books, to express copyright dates, and to count items in a series (such as the Super Bowls of U.S. professional football).
In late Roman and medieval times, after D and M were adopted as the symbols for 500 and 1000, a custom arose of writing a bar over a number to multiply that number by 1000.

 Outlines of Roman History, Chapter 7
But the government was in the hands of the patricians, and they disposed of this land for their own benefit; they allowed it to be “occupied,” at a nominal rent, by members of their own order.
The chief enemies of Rome at this time were the Volscians, the Aequians, and the Etruscans.
There is no continuous history of these frequent wars, but the Roman historians have preserved the memory of them in certain legends, which were sacred to the Romans themselves, and which we should not forget if we would understand the character and spirit of the Roman people.

 Roman Time Keeping
Four times a year, at the equinoxes and the solstices, the shadow movements thus obtained were marked by a line incised in the stone; and as the curve of the spring equinox coincided with that of the autumn equinox, three concentric circles were finally obtained, each of which was then divided into twelve equal parts.
On the other hand, it would be an error to suppose that the Romans lived with their eyes glued to the needles of their sun-dials or the floats of their water-clocks as ours are to the hands of our watches.
If anyone asked the time, he was certain to receive several different answers at once for, as Seneca asserts, it was impossible at Rome to be sure of the exact hour; and it was easier to get the philosophers to agree among themselves than the clocks.

We know that the Romans mainly played two types of games: one was a form of ludo, with a dice, and the other was like chess or draughts." The Stanway find is thought to be the latter, and maybe a version of Latrunculi, or little soldiers.
