When were wax tablets used by the Romans?

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.
