Aegean numerals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Aegean numbers)

Aegean numbers was an additive sign-value numeral system used by the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations.[1] They are attested in the Linear A and Linear B scripts. They may have survived in the Cypro-Minoan script, where a single sign with "100" value is attested so far on a large clay tablet from Enkomi.
