THE ALPHABET Etruscan alphabet, the Faliscan did not use the letters k and c, but only the letter C, that is the direction of the Faliscan alphabet being from right to left the sign . (=the Greek gamma) which replaced also the sign k.
The Capena Faliscan script was slightly different from the classical Faliscan. After the Roman conquest, in 241 B.C., the Faliscan alphabet fell into disuse. BIBLIOGRAPHY
