In written Latin, the apex (plural "apices") is a mark with roughly the shape of an acute accent ◌́ which was sometimes placed over vowels to indicate that they are long. The shape and length of the apex can vary, sometimes within a single inscription. While virtually all apices consist of a line sloping up to the right, the line can be more or less curved, and varies in length from less than half the height of a letter to more than the height of a letter. Sometimes, it is adorned at the top with a distinct hook, protruding to the left. Rather than being centered over the vowel it modifies, the apex is often considerably displaced to the right.

  • L’apex dans l'ancienne écriture latine est un signe diacritique ressemblant à l'accent aigu français et qui servait à indiquer dans les textes latins les voyelles longues par nature. Il était d'usage tant dans les inscriptions que dans les textes écrits. Il rendait plus facile la compréhension des textes dans un système d'écriture où, au contraire de l'alphabet notant le grec ancien, il n'y avait pas de lettres spécifiques pour les voyelles longues. De nos jours, dans l'écriture du latin, on utilise plutôt le macron, même s'il n'existait pas à l'époque romaine. (fr)
  • Der Apex (Plural Apices oder Apizes) ist ein ab Mitte des 1. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. in lateinischen Inschriften erscheinendes diakritisches Zeichen, mit dem die Länge von Vokalen (Vokalquantität) markiert wurde. Es handelt sich dabei um einen über das Vokalzeichen, häufig etwas nach rechts versetzten, von links unten nach rechts oben verlaufenden Strich oder flach nach unten gekrümmten Bogen, das heißt, er entspricht in der Form weitgehend dem Akut, durch den er in moderner Umschrift wiedergegeben werden kann. Beispiele: TRÁXI, PRÍSCVS, ÓLLA. (de)
