LiteratureThe Literature Of Ancient Rome produced many works of....
Poetry, comedy, tragedy, satire, history, and rhetoric, drawing heavily on the traditions of other cultures and particularly on the more matured literary tradition of Greece |
WritingThere were no lower case letters at first, and K, Y and Z used only for writing words of Greek origin.
The letters J, U and W were added to the alphabet at a later stage to write languages other than Latin. J is a variant of I, U is a variant of V, and W was introduced as a 'double-v' to make a distinction between the sounds we know as 'v' and 'w' which was unnecessary in Latin. |
