In Greek they would use letters to represent numbers.
666 would be the numbers for the name "Nero". Nero was an emporer in the first century. |

Multiple combinations of letters were possible to make the same number.
"Nero Caesar" Would become 666.
Nero was the guy that was Roman and did evil things |
