More model informationFound at Bearsden bath-house, this Roman gaming board looks like a modern chess board. It is believed that the Romans used it to play a game called Latrunculi, or ‘the game of little robbers’, and was probably a game of military tactics, much like ‘Battleship’ today.
The Antonine Wall stretched right across Scotland, from the Clyde to the Forth. Constructed around 142 AD, and occupied for only 20 years, the remains of its ramparts, steep ditches, forts and bathhouses are still visible today.
