How in latin do you work around the comma?
Q. I know Latin doesn't have commas, but how would you separate where the comma would normally be. Like if I said; but why then am I still here, and why am I still strong. If certain types of words have to go in order, would I have to write "WHY" twice, like usual, or would I just use one and put it where its suppose to go?

A. You are right that the Romans did not use commas. They also did not use periods, spaces between words or capital and lower case letters. I know it is not historically accurate, but I see nothing wrong with using modern punctuation.
