Roman Board Games

The first of our videos on historic games covers board games played by the Romans. Though many more games were certainly known at the time, good evidence has only survived for a small number, all board games, with some including the use of dice. This video includes discussion of Duodecim Scripta, Tabula, Five Lines and Eleven Lines, Nine Men's Morris and Three Men's Morris, and Ludus Latrunculorum, or Latrunculi. You can find out more about all these games on our website, at https://www.thehistoricgamesshop.co.uk.
