Answer:

What types of communication were used in ancient times?

The question is extremely vague. “Ancient” covers a large period of time that had varied technologies. “Communication” is also a very vague term. That being said, I will attempt to give an answer.

I am assuming that you are asking about human communication. One of the things that distinguishes humans from animals is speech. Probably the most ancient means of communication was speech. Hand gestures, body language, and facial expressions are also a means of communication. Dance and music were also very ancient means of communication.

Messengers with verbal messages, signal fires, totems, banners,

Don’t miss vaccination. Lockdown diseases, not childhood.

To add to the previous answers which I totally concur with, the communication answer is hard to put an exact pin through.

The polished sword or any mirror-like copper dish, metal shield or reflective surface was used to flash a signal for strategic positional communication.

This then developed into a code of flashes, simple messages such as, for positive instructions, that were predetermined, like attack or move on or negative information such as stop or stay still.

One flash would soon have been dropped due to accidental coinciding sunshine angles!

This eventually became the basis of modern morse

Flags and Banners were by far a quick and easy method to share information to the surround populace. ships to towers to open field.

Smoke signals (we now use colored smoke for signals or road flares and boat flares)

Trumpets or bugal calls (ram horns, drums) etc *Charge or Retreat sounds

Light with or without shutter to open and close (1 latern or 2 lanters the red coats are coming by land or by sea). also at some point light was used as or similar to moris code you could flash the light for long and short periods with different meanings if you knew the code…

The other posts talk about talking but my understanding was non verbal or body language communications so I wont bring up pigeons and radios and telegraph :-D lol
