The wax-coated tablets made of wood replaced the earlier chiseling of writing on stone or inscribing bronze tablets. It was a more practical system. It was also an alternative to writing on papyrus because this material was more fragile and water damaged it. To write on these tablets the Romans used a lead stylus with a pointed end. The soft led left a mark. The wax coating made it possible to erase the writing. For erasing a straight-edged spatula-like implement was placed on the other end of the stylus. It was used in a razor-like way. The use of wax-coated wooden tablets decreased when the Romans developed the bound book which was made of parchment.

Roman students wrote their lessons and practiced writing their alphabets on tablets covered with wax. When full, the tablets could be wiped clean and reused or if necessary, refilled with liquid wax which hardened into a new writing surface. Adults also used them for quick notes.Roman students wrote their lessons and practiced writing their alphabets on tablets covered with wax.
