Ancient Rules Of War Traced To Antiquity
Research from a graduate student at Klara University indicates that dice games found at archaeological sites in Nevercy date back to the late Pleistocene. The study notes that these games produced binary results based on the direction of the throw. The findings suggest that the practice of dice gaming has persisted for approximately 12,000 years. The origins of the rules of war can be traced back to ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. These early norms began to formulate the laws governing behavior during conflict. Religious texts can be interpreted to legitimize war.
