Why it matters
Ludus duodecim scriptorum, or "game of twelve markings," was a popular Roman board game that likely served as a direct ancestor to backgammon. While its precise rules have been lost to time, archaeological evidence of its playing boards inscribed on tavern tables and city streets highlights its central role in the social life of the ancient Mediterranean.
