Well, we will never find their XX sided D&D dice set. (The Roman’s could not ever get their scratched numerals to evenly balance.)

There were probably hundreds of minor cults, each with its own secret ceremonies, in those days.

Seems to me that when digging in areas away from the urban centers of that period, finding one-offs of minor cults would almost be the norm.

And it might have been 22 legionaires were killed in a battle in which the Legion lost thus unable to recover and properly bury their dead. The funeral service held back at the Roman permanent camp : alamp to light the way and a coin for the ferryman for each soldier.
