Imperial Cult Sanctuary

A game board etched into the pavement of the Tiberia Platea. Romans often played dice games in public places such as fora and civic basilicae. The numerous game boards found in the Tiberia Platea testify to the popularity of the square as a place for gaming and relaxation throughout the imperial period.
