How..... light attracts fish to the side of boat or stream so they can be speared or caught

This answer falls far short of, my answer_ but I won't 'nit-pick'
Enough details have been provided

Which people use fire for fishing?

People living in the islands of the Pacific Ocean
use fire to fish at night.
They set fire to the branches of the coconut tree
and hang them over the side of their boats.
The fish swim towards the light
and end up being caught by the islanders’ spears.

Romans adopted this alphabet

My answer follows


Who invented the alphabet?

Archaeologists have determined that the first workable alphabet was Phoenician in origin,
and written as a crude script.
However, each letter stood for a sound, and had a symbol of its own.
This alphabet, dating from 1600 BC, is the ancestor of all modern Western alphabets.
Once introduced, it spread rapidly through the Middle East and finally, people of the time
were able to write out complete words.
Ideas could be expressed much more easily than before, and narrative stories
and poetry began to appear.
The first Greek alphabet was developed from the Phoenician one during the fifth century BC.
It was changed, improved, and extended until it had great flexibility.
It became known as the Ionic alphabet and had 24 characters.
When the Romans smashed the Greek Empire, they adopted this alphabet
and adapted it to their own needs.
