Who says 100-1? I can’t find the lilac on the map, but it seems very reasonable and I support this.

A small point in the middle of italy. Maybe the vatican?

Latin has two ways to express it:

  • undecentum (which reflects the numeral notation "IC"), meaning 100 - 1;
  • nonaginta novem, plain regular form 90 + 9.
