Pythagoras introduced the multiplication table in Southern Italy about 500 BC, do we know how it looked like?
Edit
I do not mean the so called pytagorean/multiplication/times table but the actual table 'invented' by Pythagoras about 500 BC

$\begingroup$ See Multiplication Table : Hisory : "The multiplication table is sometimes attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras (570–495 BC). It is also called the Table of Pythagoras in many languages The Greco-Roman mathematician Nichomachus (60–120 AD), a follower of Neopythagoreanism, included a multiplication table in his Introduction to Arithmetic, whereas the oldest surviving Greek multiplication table is on a wax tablet dated to the 1st century AD and currently housed in the British Museum." $\endgroup$– Mauro ALLEGRANZACommented Nov 10, 2018 at 14:47
