Roman wax tablets, used for writing, were developed around the 1st century BCE. These tablets consisted of a wooden frame filled with a layer of wax, allowing for inscription with a stylus. They served as a practical medium for communication and record-keeping in ancient Rome. Their use continued well into the medieval period before being replaced by parchment and paper.
