Ludus duodecim scriptorum , or XII scripta, was a board game popular during the time of the Roman Empire. It was played anywhere that Rome  controlled. Most boards found are stone. It was so popular that most of the surviving game boards found around cities were professionally carved. iI seems like there were plenty of public boards, Like the chess boards in city park today. It is believed that folks carried playing pieces and dice with them.  The game pieces were called  pessoi,  the name of another game; much in the way a checker piece derives its name from the game Pessoi was also a game. Pessoi as a proper noun implies a little round pebbles or pottery sherds.  Hand stamped board on linen with Flame worked glass pessoi and Pyorgphyed Wooded Dices the I make and sell email me for prices.

Daldos What Type of game is it, How to play,  Where and when it was played,   & my theories on it.  Part of My Mary Rose Project Marilyn Strawberry Holt  known in the SCA as THL Mwynwen Ysginidd   Denmark and Norway share a game called Daldos or Daldosa and have relative variations played as far north as Lappland.  This game has evidence of being a coastal town game played today in the northern area of Europe. (Jaeren,Thy, Mors, Fano, Bornholm) This is a racing game that has direct capture, it is played with a pair of 4-sided dice. It could also be called a running fight game. somewhere between a racing game and a capture game. For years this style of game was only believed to have been played in the Arab-Muslim world. These games form a group with many variations, known under various names from West Africa to India - tab,taba,tab wa-dukk in the Middle East; sig, sik, sir, siki, in North Africa- sig wa-duqqan  As with most all games from history, the rules are oral traditions rarel
