Need info on Roman Dice or Board games played by Soldiers ?

[flavia]

I would like to do research on how Roman soldiers used the board games they have found on some fort sites?? Any info would be appreciated..

Flavia:

Here are two web sites that offer reproductions of Latrunculi. I don't have either, so I cannot vouch for their quality. With the wooden version, I would ignore the rules given. According to the research by Ulrich Schädler, there was no such piece as a dux (or king).
