How was the writing system used in ancient Rome?

Not only did all of the Romance languages evolve from Latin, but in the 19th century, some English grammarians decided that Latin was the perfect language and decided to rewrite the rules of English to make it more like Latin. So, such rules as not putting prepositions at the ends of sentences and not splitting infinitives (though that one does get disregarded in more poetic English. Star Trek wouldn't be the same without it) come straight out of Latin. Generally, with Romance languages and English, that which is considered to be better grammar is more closely related to Latin.

How did the Romans write?

Ancient Rome's writing system was basically the same as ours. However they didn't use the same rules of punctuation that we do. That is, most of the time they ran their sentences together without punctuation and in letters, some writers even talked about two different things in a single paragraph. They followed the Latin rules of grammar in which words have variable endings to show their relationship to other words.
