Paper as we know it was invented around 105 CE in China which was around the time of the Romans.
Romans had access to papyrus paper but it was expensive. Papyrus paper has been found in tombs and was dated to around 2900 BCE. Romans definitely were known to wrote letters using pen and paper. Papyrus paper is paper, so Romans had access to it.
A tabula and stylus were the most common writing implements, wax on a wooden slab written into using a stick.
