Best Answer

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.

How was the Roman system different from the Greek system?

In ancient Greece two types of numeration systems were widely used the Attic and the Ionian.The Attic numeral system was worked out exactly like the Roman numeral system in its additional notation format but used symbols instead of letters to represent numbers.The Ionian numeral system used the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet plus 3 other symbols.Each number from 1 to 9 was given a letter or symbol.Each number from 10 to 90 was given a letter or symbol.Each number from 100 to 900 was given a letter or symbol.For example: 983 would work out as the symbol for 900 followed by the symbol for 80 followed by the symbol for 3.For bigger numbers the Greeks would subscript the above with marks to indicate 1000,10000,100000 ....... etc.
