In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
1 lotus, 5 coils of rope, 9 hobbles, 4 strokes
1 × 1,000 + 5 × 100 + 9 × 10 + 4 × 1 = 1,594. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
2 corner wedges + 6 vertical wedges (sixties place), 3 corner wedges + 4 vertical wedges (units place)
26 × 60 + 34 = 1594. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
