Majuscule script carved in stone

The Greek capitalis, or capitals, is a majuscule script, i.e. a form of writing using capital letters, suitable for writing on stone. This script was adopted by the Romans in the 7th century BC. From the 14th century onwards, it was associated with the humanist minuscule, a handwritten book script, and is the basis of the later antiqua typeface. Undated photo
