In Latin, originally, there were no lower case letters. Some documents, though, found in the ruins of Herculaneum shows some lower case letters, but not with specific syntax. It wasn't until the much later that lower case writing became widely used, and then it was more of a replacement for the existing "upper case" letters. The rules we use today weren't standardized until the 18th century.
