Best Answer

The Babylonian Empire was a newer version of Mesopotamia. Cuneiform, the script language of ancient Sumer in Mesopotamia, consists of small, repetitive impressed characters that look more like wedge-shape footprints than what we recognize as writing. Those writings appear on baked clay or mud tablets that range in color from bone white to chocolate to charcoal. Inscriptions were also made on pots and bricks. Each cuneiform sign consists of one or more wedge-shaped impressions that are made with three basic marks: a triangle, a line or curbed lines made with dashes.

When were wax tablets used by the Romans?

The wax-coated tablets made of wood replaced the earlier chiseling of writing on stone or inscribing bronze tablets. It was a more practical system. It was also an alternative to writing on papyrus because this material was more fragile and water damaged it. To write on these tablets the Romans used a lead stylus with a pointed end. The soft led left a mark. The wax coating made it possible to erase the writing. For erasing a straight-edged spatula-like implement was placed on the other end of the stylus. It was used in a razor-like way. The use of wax-coated wooden tablets decreased when the Romans developed the bound book which was made of parchment.
