Where 460 fits
Why 460 is special
It arrived just as emissions and fuel economy regulation made large engines untenable, so it was detuned almost immediately.

CDLX uses the subtractive pair CD: a hundred before five hundred — five hundred minus a hundred.

Read as powers of two: 256 + 128 + 64 + 8 + 4 = 460.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
4 coils of rope, 6 hobbles
4 × 100 + 6 × 10 = 460. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
7 vertical wedges (sixties place), 4 corner wedges (units place)
7 × 60 + 40 = 460. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
upsilon, then xi, marked as a numeral
upsilon-xi + keraia
upsilon + xi written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
tav, then samekh
tav-samekh
tav (400) + samekh (60) = 460, written in descending order.
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.
