The Latin alphabet did not contain the letter u, therefore v represented both the vowel and the consonant.

The Roman alphabet is just as weird as Roman numerals. They used the shape V to stand for U. Why do any ancient alphabets look the way they do?

The U just looks like a V while on there since they are simmular in shape

This is where the term "Justice is blind" came from. It wasn't supposed to be a compliment, originally.
