Acta Diurna in Ancient Rome (59 BCE) (jan 1, 59 BC – may 18, 330)
Description:
Acta Diurna were daily Roman official notices, a sort of daily government gazette, containing an officially authorized narrative of noteworthy events at Rome.They were carved on stone or metal and presented in message boards in public places like the Forum of Rome.Its contents were partly official (court news, decrees of the Roman emperor, Roman Senate and Roman magistrates), partly private (notices of births, marriages and deaths). Thus to some extent it filled the place of the modern newspaper.
