Orality, oral culture, and historiography are aptly joined in ancient Greece and Rome: historical writing developed from non‐literate cultures. However, the roots of literacy differed. The discovery of clay tablets excavated at Bronze Age Greek sites demonstrated the deep roots of literacy and assisted historiography. Roman literacy does not have such deep roots.
