Actually, there used to be 28 letters in the alphabet, but L&M got kicked out for smoking...

Well, it may be because I’m in my 50s, but when I was a wee boy the ampersand was indeed included at the end of the alphabet that was painted across the top of the chalkboards in elementary school classrooms; also I think my magnetic letter board had that as well.

Early Roman script, around the middle of the 4th century, coinciding with the Romans inventing spaghetti

Hmmmn.
I always used the “capital E” with a vertical bar through it when printing an ampersand.

Well, the ampersand was never part of my alphabet, but all kinds of other weird things were: Ü, Ě, ñ,ç, etc.
