Humpday Triviola

Thomas Skaggs, Foothills of Mount Level

About 5000 years ago Egyptians invented an activity that required rocks. The Greeks developed it further and around 500 BC the Romans got involved. The Romans imported coconuts but later came to find they could use domestic materials just as well. More specifically, carved olive wood was commonly used.

What is the activity?

I'll be off line but will check back later.

Did they import those coconuts using African swallows or European swallows?

I actually played it in my younger days. Lot of Italians in the neighborhood then. No comment on the balls------
