The Romans spoke Latin, but it wasn't used as the " main language " in Europe. The church used Latin in it's services, but the common man didn't speak it. Kings often spoke and read several languages. One of the main languages used was French. Even today French is used in the English court and menus for the queen are in French. For 300 years no English king spoke English and only knew French.

Latin was the language spoken by the ancient Romans and became the basis for the Romance languages, which are French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian.

The Cyrillic alphabet was developed in the 10th century so that the newly christened inhabitants of the First Bulgarian Empire could write religious texts in an alphabet much better suited for their Slavic language. The Greek language had far fewer sounds than the Slavic dialects of the time, thus the Greek alphabet could not properly accommodate a Slavic language. Later, when other Slavic peoples converted to Christianity, they adopted this new Slavic alphabet.
Christianity is the contribution of the Romans to religion. Christianity spread around the Roman Empire and eventually became state religion. Both Catholic and Orthodox Christianity originally developed in the Roman Empire.
