Roman Cursive

Roman Cursive is an ancient Roman handwriting style used primarily for quick, everyday writing in manuscripts and documents from around the 1st century BCE to the 6th century CE. It features a flowing, connected script with streamlined letterforms, making it faster to write than formal inscriptions. This style evolved from earlier Roman scripts and was commonly employed for personal notes, business, and literary texts. Its characteristic traits include rounded, slanted characters with simplified strokes, reflecting a practical adaptation for rapid writing while maintaining legibility. Roman Cursive provides valuable insight into daily literacy and scribal practices of ancient Rome.
