Calling classical language scholars:
Which came first, the letter "V" or "U"?  When did they cease to be
interchangeable, as in the Roman-looking characters on T&M where the
letter U is depicted as a V?  I've seen this all over a bunch of
ancient books I've been handling lately, and would like the low down.
thanks
