The Latin alphabet used in ancient Rome consisted of 21 letters, lacking the letters J, U, and W, which are present in the modern English alphabet. Additionally, the Latin alphabet did not distinguish between upper and lower case letters, meaning all inscriptions were typically in uppercase. The letters V and I served multiple purposes, with V representing both the vowel sound "u" and the consonant sound "v." Over time, the English alphabet evolved to include 26 letters, accommodating changes in language and pronunciation.
