Spurius Carvilius Ruga (fl. 230 BC) was the
elementary school, although other such schools may have existed in Rome prior to his.[1]
Plutarch is the main source for these inventions, and Quintus Terentius Scaurus confirms the former in De Orthographia. The letter G was already in use before 230 BC; Wilhelm Paul Corssen theorized in Über Aussprache that Plutarch intended to communicate that Ruga's school was the first to assign C and G to the phonemes of /k/ and /g/.[clarification needed]
