Salvete,



I've asked this question before (on The col Art forum, I think) but there were no answers: Did the Romans have any (kind of) press? Newspapers? etc.

Sure, the Acta Diurna first began in 59 BCe during the first consulship of Julius Caesar, reporting on the daily activities of the Senate.

Salve Marce,


And what did it looked like? A role, put up somewhere? A billboard; or those stone newspapers we are used to see in Asterix?
