CMXCVI uses the subtractive pair XC: ten before a hundred — a hundred minus ten.

Read as powers of two: 512 + 256 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 4 = 996.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
9 coils of rope, 9 hobbles, 6 strokes
9 × 100 + 9 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 996. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
1 corner wedge + 6 vertical wedges (sixties place), 3 corner wedges + 6 vertical wedges (units place)
16 × 60 + 36 = 996. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
sampi, then koppa, then stigma, marked as a numeral
sampi-koppa-stigma + keraia
sampi + koppa + stigma 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 tav, then qof, then tsadi, then vav
tav-tav-qof-tsadi-vav
tav (400) + tav (400) + qof (100) + tsadi (90) + vav (6) = 996, 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.
