When they find the Steam connection, we’ll know they were really advanced...

Isn’t AD 300 a bit late to be called the Roman Iron Age?

Probably Monopoly, those games seem to go on forever.

The game showed that you had the time, profits and ability to think strategically

It was still Roman Empire time, and still Iron Age...

Game of Roman Life. Choose a career as a Gladiator. Get eaten by a lion first time out. No chariot. No family. No villa in the hills to retire to. Short game.

There you are, Saturday night, sitting in the village hall, half-drunk, playing Sticks and Stones with your Viking neighbors, eating jellied fish that the dogs relieved themselves on, when suddenly, you get the urge to sail down to England and burn some monasteries.
Good times.....good times.....

Did the game pieces have a racing car, a scotti dog and a steam engine? Now if they found 'Go directly to Jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200 Krone' or 'Take a Ride on the Reading' you know they were very advanced... 😋

I guess it was still Iron Age in Northern Europe, although Southern Europe, and the Near East/India/China had moved past the Iron Age by then.

Western Norway? Great marketing. No Ebay or Amazon then. They certainly earned their Aureuses there.

We Time Team mavens know that pre-Roman British archaeology ends with Iron Age. Bronzemaking wasn't discovered at the same time in all places, and the dating varies wildly. I'm not particularly a fan of the traditional division using stone, copper, bronze, and iron. :^)
