This paper considers the small glass objects often called counters, which are common finds at Pompeii, and normally thought to have been used in playing games. An assemblage of over 500 stratigraphically dated examples from Insula VI.1 are examined, and the colour and size of this group are compared to a dataset of first-centuryadglass counters found in graves where they can be shown with certainty to be part of gaming sets. The comparisons show that the bulk of the Pompeii counters are very unlikely to have been used in gaming, a conclusion that is supported by the types of counters that would have been necessary to play games such asludus latrunculorumandludus duodecim scriptorum. Other functions are considered and it is suggested that many of the Pompeiian counters might have been used for interior decoration. The rise of a specialist production of counters that could have been used in gaming is demonstrated, and it is suggested this might have implications for the development of craft specialization and demonstrate the rise of leisure time in the first centuryad.

娱乐或装饰:庞贝城的玻璃柜台是用来做什么的?

本文考虑了通常被称为柜台的小玻璃物体,它们在庞贝城很常见,通常被认为用于玩游戏。检查了来自 Insula VI.1 的 500 多个按地层年代记录的示例的集合,并将该组的颜色和大小与一世纪的数据集进行了比较广告在坟墓中发现的玻璃柜台可以肯定地显示为游戏套装的一部分。比较表明,庞贝计数器的大部分不太可能用于游戏,这一结论得到了玩游戏所必需的计数器类型的支持,例如螳螂ludus duodecim scriptorum. 考虑其他功能,建议许多庞贝柜台可能已用于室内装饰。展示了可能用于游戏的专业生产柜台的兴起,并表明这可能对工艺专业化的发展产生影响并展示一世纪休闲时间的兴起广告.
