The original Greek numeral system was the Aegean numeral system, which used separate symbols for 1, 10, 100, 100 and 10000. This was replaced by the Attic numeral system, which was quite similar to the Etruscan/Roman numeral system (which derived from it), with separate symbols for 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and so on. This was then replaced by the Ionic system, which used 27 separate symbols for the units 1-9, the tens 10-90 and the hundreds 100-900.
Greek numbers were first used about 3,000 years ago in ancient Greece. The Greek numeral system, also known as Attic numerals, was developed during this time and was in use until the adoption of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system in the late Middle Ages.
