    M / The oldest form of this letter consists of five parts, ꟿ. This is found on the Fibula Praenestina, also in the Duenos Inscription. It gives rise to [forms of M], which in the days of the Republic stands as the abbreviation for Manius, as distinguished from Marcus with abbreviation [form of M]. The prevailing form under the Republic, and the standard letter of the best period is that made with oblique lines reaching to the base of the letter.
