ROMA HALKININ SEVDİGİ BİR OYUN: DUODECIM SCRIPTA

Abstract

Arkeolojik buluntulardan ve yazın kaynaklarından anlıyoruz ki eğlence ve şenlikler Roma hayatında önemli bir yere sahipti. İki tekerlekli at arabası yarışları /udi circenses, hayvan dövüşleri uenatlones, tiyatro gösterileri /udi scaenici, gladyatör dövüşleri munera Roma halkının rağbet ettiği eğlence türleriydi. Bu eğlenceler arasında İtalya' da, Mısır' da ve Türkiye'de arkeolojik kazılar sonucu bulunan tahta oyunları da bulunmaktadır. Bu oyunlardan bir tanesi de Side ve Efes müzelerinde, Perge ve Aphrodisias antik kentlerinde görülen mermerden yapılmış duodecim scripta oyunudur. Bu çalışmada Roma tahta ve zar oyunları tanıtılacak ve duodecim scripta oyununun nasıl oynandığı konusunda bilgi verilecektir. Böylece, Roma eğlence hayatına zayıf da olsa bir ışık tutulmaya çalışılacaktır.
