An antique thing has been found in Norway, a country in the continent of Europe. Scientists have found a board game of ancient Roman times during the excavation of a pit here, which is said to be about 1700 years old. Apart from this, there are also dice made of bone and 18 circular pieces. Along with the complete game set, researchers have also found pottery, bone fragments, bronze objects and burnt glass from the excavated site.

A total of 19 pieces have been found in this game called Ludus Latrunculum, including a long dice. It consists of two players. Each player has the same number of pieces, which are different colours from their opponent. In some versions of this game, each player also has a 'Dux', which is a special piece with special powers. This game used to be just like today's carry board. According to the researchers, the place where this board game was found was the first cemetery. This board game has been discovered by researchers at the University of Bergen Museum. Actually, a team of researchers was digging Iron Age remains at Fosse in western Norway, when they found this board game in the excavation.

According to the researchers, the people playing such games belonged to the local elite or upper class. This game makes it clear that people had the time and ability to think strategically. It is being told that the board game is a very rare type of dice. Such dice were used from one AD to 400 AD.
