The first culture known to use letters for numbers was the Phoenicians. They developed an alphabetic script around 1050 BCE, which later influenced the Greek and Roman numeral systems. The Greeks adopted this system and further adapted it by assigning numerical values to their alphabet, leading to the creation of the Greek numeral system. This practice laid the groundwork for later numeral systems that incorporated letters to represent numbers.
