Old Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is written boustrophedon (alternating right-to-left and left-to-right), albeit irregularly: reading from top to bottom, lines 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16 run from right to left; lines 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, and 15, from left to right; 8, 9, and 16 are upside down. |
 | | Old Latin (also called Early Latin or Archaic Latin) refers to the period of Latin texts before the age of Classical Latin. |
 | | Phonological characteristics of older Latin are the case endings -os and -om (later Latin -us and -um), as well as the existence of diphthongs such as oi and ei (later Latin ū or oe, and ī). |
