Even though the fines ran as high as four times the value of the stakes at hand, clandestine gaming was well known to be held in the back rooms at most caponulae and popinae (inns and eating houses). Evidence of this can be found on some Pompeian wall paintings. Ludus Latrunculorum (the game of little soldiers), by far the most popular of all Roman board games, was exempt from the law. This popular game was openly played and was a game involving skill and strategy. Martial (A.D. 40-104) records how intellectuals proudly competed in public Latrunculi championships, much like modern chess tournaments (VIII,71,7). The less privileged made their gaming boards or tabulae lusoriae by scratching grids in sand or other places and used anything at hand for counters. $450/2 |
