of troy asks how Latin used punctuation marks
I think that in general they didn't use punctuation marks, at least not during the empire and before.
As for the quote marks the open quotes looked like little 6s and close quotes looked like little 9s. You'll still see some like that in some typefaces in modern printing.
Did I get that right?
