Reply to comment by ILoveTabascoSauce in TIL the majority of ancient Greeks and Romans that were literate read out loud. Reasons for this include a lack of space between letters and no formalized system of punctuation that helped with pauses in reading. by Ask_Me_If_Im_A_Horse
Ancient Latin didn't have lowercase letters or word order. You have to decipher it from conjugations and context.
