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.
What about animal hides? I think that was a thing too.
Yes, they used animal parchment and tabula much more often than papyrus.
They still did have a form of paper, which was the main point I wanted to get across. They also had ink and pens I believe.
