In short, a Gazillion has (28810 x 3) zeros, that is a Gazillion has 86430 zeros.

Except that the Romans would have used the stadia, rather than the Greek mile. The stadia would have been equal to about .114 miles, or 185 meters. With a circumference of about 25,000 miles, that makes a gazillion equal to (217480 x 3), or 652,440 zeros, nearly eight times the Greek system you supplied. No wonder the Roman Empire lasted so long!
