Gloucester tabula set[edit]

(

)

Copulating couple from the Gloucester tabula set

... that the Gloucester tabula set includes gaming pieces depicting a copulating couple, a hanging man and a manticore?
- ALT1:... that the Gloucester tabula set was discovered at the bottom of a rubbish pit?

Comment: World's oldest complete backgammon set. Lots of interesting pieces including Biblical, sexual and mythical scenes.

New enough, long enough. Nicely written but "points" should be explained. AGF on main hook but the less interesting ALT1 confirmed to online PDF. Earwig finds nothing. GTG, but explain "points" in the article for the reader. Johnbod (talk) 02:35, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Amended to clarify 'points'. Celuici (talk) 07:29, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
