This game embodies much of Roman culture the "vulgar" bits (from Latin vulgus: ‘common people’) to the "intellectual" challenges (from Latin intellectualis: 'relating to the understanding'). Dice (of course), racing around a track, hindering your opponent popular stuff in the colosseum. The cleaver aspect of using words on many of the game boards tossed in some degree of literacy and poetry (more often vulgar than intellectual).

It's an outstanding example of a prominent game in the evolution of the entire family of tables games, and lasted in some form for about 600 years throughout the Empire.
