Document Details : Title: Not Any Man is Fortunate in the Glory of Games Author(s): LUNGU, Vasilica Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 15 Date: 2016 Pages: 147-160 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.15.0.3167469 Abstract : This paper presents four fragments of two different game-boards and one round gaming-piece from the excavations of the tumulus/Heroon (TA95) at Orgame/Argamum, focusing on their role in the hero-cult. These objects stand apart as some of the most specific for the development of the hero-cult in a Greek Pontic colony. These board-games are the first to be discovered in the tomb of a founder in the Black Sea region. |
