Description
[17] pp. + 3 folding engraved plates, 22cm., contemporary blind wrappers (some use), offprint from "Annali dell'Instituto di correspondenza archeologia" T.XL, small stamp on title page, [The “Gioco del cottabo”, or the game of cottabus, was a popular skill-based game played during ancient Greek and Etruscan banquets (symposia). Participants would attempt to flick the last dregs of wine from their drinking cup (kylix) at a specific target. The game often had a romantic or prophetic meaning : a player would dedicate their throw to a loved one, and hitting the target was seen as a favorable omen for their future in love], G121025
