In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

1 lotus, 4 coils of rope, 1 hobble, 5 strokes

1 × 1,000 + 4 × 100 + 1 × 10 + 5 × 1 = 1,415. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

2 corner wedges + 3 vertical wedges (sixties place), 3 corner wedges + 5 vertical wedges (units place)

23 × 60 + 35 = 1415. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.

Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

  • Agincourt is remembered as a longbow victory, and the archers mattered — but a narrow muddy field that funnelled and bogged down heavily armoured French cavalry mattered at least as much. The battle changed little strategically and a great deal reputationally.
