Hi PL,

Interesting.

I wonder if there is any evidence to back up the theory.

That is fascinating, Walter. Thanks for passing along these tidbits. And that is an especially beautiful reproduction of the painting.

Very interesting Walter. I thought of you during my tour of the Forum a couple of weeks ago, as the guide mentioned those "board games" you told us about.

It is interesting, and equally possible that he used figures that were popular at the time.

I'm sorry I missed it. Can someone send the link of the "board games" at the Forum? I'm intrigued.

Thanks!

5alive: Sorry but I can't get a long URL with 'Webtv'. But if you click-on my ParadiseLost screen name and scroll down to past post 150 you will find my post on the 'board games'. Regards, Walter
