Table Numeral Systems The Etruscan numerals were used by the ancient Etruscancivilization Etruscans . The system was adapted from the Greek Attic numerals and formed the inspiration for the later Roman numerals . class wikitable Etruscan Decimal Symbol u 1 number 1 File Etruscan Numeral 1.svg 15x15px ma 5 number 5 File Etruscan Numeral 5.svg 15x15px ar 10 number 10 File Etruscan Numeral 10.svg 15x15px muval 50 number 50 File Etruscan Numeral 50.svg 15x15px ? 100 number 100 File Etruscan Numeral 100.svg 15x15px or C There is very little surviving evidence of these numerals. Examples are known of the symbols for larger numbers, but it is unknown which symbol represents which number. Thanks to the numbers written out on the Tuscania dice , there is agreement about the fact that zal , ci , hu and a are the numbers up to 6 besides 1 and 5 . The assignment depends on the answer to the question whether the numbers on opposite faces on Etruscan dice add up to seven, like nowadays. Some dice found do not show this proposed pattern. An interesting aspect of the Etruscan numeral system is that some numbers, as in the Roman system, are represented as partial subtractions. So 17 is not written sem ar as users of the Arabic numerals might reason. We instead find ci em za rum literally, three away from twenty . The numbers 17, 18 and 19 are all written in this way. The general consensus Despite the continuing debate specifically about which of hu and a are four and six , the general agreement among Etruscologists nowadays is the following class wikitable Etruscan Decimal u 1 zal 2 ci 3 hu 4 ma 5 a 6 sem 7 cezp 8 nur 9 ar 10 u ar 11 zal ar 12 ci ar 13 hu zar 14 ma ar 15 ...
