EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an intriguing discovery at the ancient Roman site of Aphrodisias in Caria, Turkey. The image reveals an engraved backgammon board, skillfully carved into the upper seats of the Roman stadium. Dating back to the Roman Empire's ancient history, this archaeological find offers a fascinating glimpse into the leisurely pursuits of the time. Backgammon, a popular board game with a rich history, is believed to have originated in the Middle East around 5,000 years ago. Its circular design, with a circumference of approximately 27 inches, is evident in the meticulously inscribed stones. The game's mathematical complexity, rooted in probability and strategy, was a source of intellectual stimulation for the ancient Romans. The stadium at Aphrodisias, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the Roman Empire. The stadium, built in the 1st or 2nd century AD, could accommodate up to 30,000 spectators. The presence of the backgammon board engraving in the seating area suggests that the game was not only a form of entertainment but also a social activity enjoyed by the Roman elite. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the intersection of mathematics, history, and art in the Roman Empire. The intricate details of the backgammon board, etched into the stone, serve as a reminder of the enduring appeal of this ancient game and the rich cultural heritage of Turkey.
