<p>[QUOTE="Ardatirion, post: 1682065, member: 9204"]I know it's not quite what you're looking for, but I am reminded of the curious way in which certain Tetrarchic bronzes represent the 9th officina. Normally, the Greek numeral Θ is used to represent 9. But these were a superstitious bunch and they preferred to use ЄΔ (5+4), because Θ was the first letter of Thanatos, the god of death.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
