In the archaic period the Romans wrote on stone or bronze tablets. later they wrote on scroll of papyrus or parchment. From the first century AD they also pioneered the bound book, which by the 3rd century AD was as common as the scrolls. They used a metal stylo.
Roman writing was Latin. The Romans were Latins. The Latins, like all the Italic peoples of ancient Italy adopted and adapted the western Greek alphabet. The Greeks established colonies (settlements) in southern Italy from the late 8th century BC to the 6th century BC. Because they were a more advanced civilisation, they had a big impact of all the Italic peoples they came into contact with. This included the adoption and adaptation of their alphabet to develop written languages.
