   Stunbled on this photo while looking for something else. This is in Prague, but I didn’t make a note of the location. Anyone recognise it?

     @fhardwig Thanks! I had noted that the selection of tall letters were all Roman numerals, but was not familiar with the concept of a chronogram.

     @TiroTypeworks Nice chronogram! This is at the Morový Sloup Nejsvĕtĕjší Trojice, or Holy Trinity Column, Malá Strana. More info: https://statues.vanderkrogt.net/object.php?webpage=ST&record=czpr030

     @TiroTypeworks @fhardwig interesting indeed.

     In Cairo (and elsewhere), old mosques (and some other public buildings) are often dated with poems that include the date using حساب الجمل
