Roman cursive is a style of writing that developed in ancient Rome, primarily used for everyday purposes. It was characterized by its fluid and informal nature, making it easier and quicker to write than the more formal Roman capital letters. This script was commonly used for notes, letters, and other documents. Unlike the more rigid and structured inscriptions found on monuments, Roman cursive featured connected letters and varied letter forms. It played a significant role in the evolution of writing styles, influencing later scripts such as medieval cursive and ultimately contributing to the development of modern Latin script.
