thirteen hundred

One PM, militarily

Thirteen hundred is an alternative way of saying one thousand three hundred, using the count of hundreds rather than thousands.

This pattern is common for years (The cathedral was built in thirteen hundred) and for times in the 24-hour clock (The meeting starts at thirteen hundred hours).

It's also used casually for dollar amounts: That'll run you about thirteen hundred.
