Why is there a lot of numerology for greek and hebrew letters/numbers but not roman?

Answer 1

In Hebrew the letters are numbers and this lends itself to developing numerology. Not sure but Greek may be the same way. The Romans had a separate number system.

The ability to use characters for both numbers and letters in Hebrew was often used as part of lectures and in various parts of the Jewish religion.

While Romans absorbed some of the culture from a conquered society, they tended to stick to their own pantheon of gods and thus would not have absorbed numerology from the Jews.

Answer 2

The Romans were much too pragmatic to be interested in anything like that, and the ones that were, used Greek. There was a lot of Jewish literature written in Greek, and Cabbalists tried to use their system in the Greek alphabeth as well as in their own.

Answer 3

I'm not sure what you mean, but in modern Greece the international number system is used. The Greek numbers phonetically are (1-10) "eva, dio, tria, tessera, pende, exi, epta, oxto, ennea, deka." Hope this helps!

Answer 4

What exactly you mean by numerology?

Answer 5

Greeks were the first one who remembered it! :)
