Etruscan numerals

Etruscan numerals are a system used by the ancient Etruscans, featuring symbols to represent numbers. They primarily used two symbols: a right-pointing wedge (𐑹) for 1 and a diagonal line (𐑺) for 10. Numbers were formed by combining these symbols: for example, three ones (𐑹𐑹𐑹) or a ten plus one (𐑺𐑹). Larger numbers used combinations and repetitions, similar to other ancient systems. While limited in surviving examples, Etruscan numerals influenced early Roman numbering, and they reflect their practical approach to counting and record-keeping.
