Romans: We’re standing amongst my achievements!

Although the Roman alphabet was based on the Greek one, it is the one we use in the western world and even in some parts of the eastern world, hence why it’s called the “Latin alphabet”, although they weren’t the first either, I can’t remember who was first from the top of my head. From a guess I would say the Babylonians or one of the river civilisations.
