The Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek, and Roman cultures surprised with the rapid development of advertising. It was expressed in written, visual, and verbal forms. Even at that time, ancient entrepreneurs set themselves the goal of winning over potential consumers, capturing their attention and forcing them to make a profitable deal for them.

The first advertising information of the ancient world was an Egyptian papyrus informing about the sale of a slave. Also, some Egyptologists believe that advertising messages could have been written on stones.
In addition, advertising text can be found on walls and slabs that have been scratched or painted. In ancient Greece and Rome, all advertising messages were written on special tablets, later on parchment. In the market squares, various advertisements were often read in the presence of a large crowd of people.
