Meh, Roman and Babylonian base 10 systems both predated it. Really their only contribution is counting and numerals. At least it is efficient in that regard. Looking at the numerals today there's little rhyme to their methodology. It's only thanks to the Castillean and Aragonese that we have the modern numeral definitive interpretations.
