Punctuation in Rome

[Dikaiopolis]

Thanks so much for your answers!

So just for summarize.
If you were 4AD non-native latin speaker living in Germania, it is possible that you would write solid text, but guy next to you  could use dots after every word or write solid text with dots at the end of sentece, and another guy could simply leave gaps between words?
I mean, there is no general rule for such people?

Hi

Sorry, I completely forgot about your last question  

Standardisation of hand-writing and spelling is very much a modern phenomenon. In the Roman Empire professional scribes would write with particular conventions, to guarantee the quality for their customers and widespread legibility, but for every-day writing on papyrus (expensive) or tablets (wooden like vindolanda or wax), the only thing you had to do was make yourself understood by whoever was going to read it.
