How did the Ancient Greeks write their numbers?

Kainantu

Ancient Greek had no cyphers (characters 0-9) as we have today. Instead, the alphabet itself was made to serve a dual purpose. Thus a given character had its corresponding number. For example, the Alpha character also stood for the number 1. AFT doesn’t support Greek letters so you will have to look at this site: http://www.fargonasphere.com/piso/numcode.html Mar 13 04, 9:56 PM
