Atramentum
Ātrāmentum  (ex verbo ater) est liquidum vel gluten valde coloratum, plerumque atrum, pigmentum habens, per quod adumbrationes vel textus parantur.

Temporibus antiquis atramenta adhiberi solebant 
 a scribis, ut calamo litteras faciant (atramentum librarium)
 a pictoribus et scribis (e.g. atramentum Indicum)
 a fabris ad linendos parietes (atramentum tectorium)
 a sutoribus et tinctoribus ad pelles vel texta tingenda (atramentum tinctorium)
 a sepiis, ut nocentia fugiant; qua de re legimus apud Ciceronem et Ovidium
