Latin never used accent marks. It appeared much later, in the Middle Age, when the new Romance languages developed from vernacular Latin and people felt the need to show in written how is the correct pronunciation of a certain word. But not all Romance languages use it, as I know it happens only in French and Spanish, Portuguese maybe.
