Aegean numerals

Short description: Numeral system used by the Minoans and Mycenaeans

Aegean numbers was an additive sign-value numeral system used by the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations.[1] They are attested in 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.
