Historically, Phoenician dates often used regnal years or local eras.

The maximum year supported corresponds to the maximum representable number (9999).

About Phoenician Numerals

The Phoenicians used a simple additive system, typically written right-to-left, where the value of a number is the sum of the values of its symbols.

  • 𐤖 represents 1
  • 𐤗 represents 10
  • 𐤘 represents 20
  • 𐤙 represents 100
  • represents 1000 (Converter convention).

Unlike Roman numerals, there was no subtractive notation. Symbols were repeated as needed.
