The era of BC Rome was during the third century. The Romans were neighbors with the Greeks, and so the Greeks influenced their politics, mythology, science, as well as writing. Politically, the Roman government was ruled by a king as well as a senate. During this era of Rome, it was looked down upon to read and write. At the time, writing was only used for records. However, most could read and write. Writing was done on wax tablets using stylists, on stone using squared brushes and chisels. The Romans were fond of writing on papyrus, as well as carves stone or metal.
