Roman cursive

Roman cursive is a way of writing letters in Rome a loooong time ago. It's kind of like writing regular letters, but with more curves and loops. Imagine your regular big letter "A". Now imagine taking your pencil and writing it really fast, so fast that it looks like the letter is made of wavy lines instead of straight ones. That's what Roman cursive looks like!

In Roman cursive, some letters are written differently than they are in regular writing. For example, the letter "a" might look like a little "c" with a little line on top, or like a little "v" with a loop on top. The letter "f" might look like a little "6" or a little "8". And the letter "g" might look like a "j" with a little tail on top.

People used Roman cursive a long time ago to write things like letters, notes, and shopping lists. It was faster and easier to write in cursive than in regular writing, especially if you had to write a lot of words.

Nowadays, Roman cursive is mostly used by people who study history or really old papers, because it's not as common as regular cursive or printing. But it's still important to know about because it helps us learn about how people in the past wrote and communicated with each other.
