Why 325 is special

It produced the Nicene Creed and settled the date of Easter, convened by an emperor who was not yet baptised. Most Christian denominations still recite a version of what was agreed there.

Read as powers of two: 256 + 64 + 4 + 1 = 325.

In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

3 coils of rope, 2 hobbles, 5 strokes

3 × 100 + 2 × 10 + 5 × 1 = 325. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

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

5 × 60 + 25 = 325. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.

Greek (Ionic)

tau, then kappa, then epsilon, marked as a numeral

tau-kappa-epsilon + keraia

tau + kappa + epsilon written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.

Hebrew numerals

shin, then kaf, then he

shin-kaf-he

shin (300) + kaf (20) + he (5) = 325, written in descending order.

Maya

3 bars + 1 dot (upper, twenties place) over 1 bar (lower, units place)

16 × 20 + 5 = 325. Places stack vertically with the smallest at the bottom, so the upper group is worth twenty times the lower.

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.
