Of the rules governing other games, represented here by several pieces, we are entirely ignorant. The plaster pawns (No. =629=) found at Panticapaeum (Kertch) in the Crimea, probably belonged to some game analogous to our draughts. An interesting set of pieces is that of the ivory discs (No. =630=; fig. 245), which bear on their obverse a design in relief _e.g._ two Muses and the head of the Sun-god, and on their reverse a number, from 1 to 15, in both Greek and Latin figures, as well as a word descriptive of the design on the obverse. Thus the two illustrated have on their reverse +VI+ [Greek: MOUSAI] [Greek: TH] [Greek: F] and +II+ [Greek: HÊLIOS] [Greek: B] (_i.e._, VI.--Nine ([Greek: th´]) Muses--6, and II.--Helios--2) respectively. It seems pretty clearly established that these discs were used as pieces in a game, which probably resembled draughts or backgammon. Fifteen of these pieces have been found together in a child's tomb at Panticapaeum. The game appears to have been popular in the first and second centuries after Christ, and probably had its origin in Alexandria. It seems likely that it bore a resemblance to the Roman game called _duodecim scripta_ ("twelve lines"), played with fifteen pieces on either side. The moves were determined by the throw of the dice, as in our backgammon. Another set of pieces belonging to a game are the label-shaped ivories (No. =631=; fig. 245), inscribed on one side with words, often of an abusive character, such as _male (e)st_ ("bad luck"), _fur_ ("thief"), _nugator_ ("trifler"), _stumacose_ ("ill-tempered fellow"), etc., and on the other with numbers. The pieces mentioned have the numbers +XXIII+, +A+, +II+, +I+, and +II A+ respectively on their reverse sides (see fig. 245). The whole series of numbers on these ivories runs from 1 to 25, and includes in addition 30 and 60; it is noteworthy that the highest numbers have inscriptions of a complimentary character, _e.g._, _felix_ and _benigne_. The pieces may have been used in the Roman game called "the game of soldiers" (_ludus latrunculorum_).[1] At the top of Cases 57-58 is an oblong marble board (No. =632=), inscribed with six words of six letters each. It was found in a tomb near the Porta Portese, Rome. The words are-- +CIRCVS PLENVS+ +CLAMOR INGENS+ +IANVAE TE+ ? _te(nsae)_ "Circus full," "Great shouting," "Doors bursting (?)."
