A rare pamphlet by Andreas Johannes Boysen (b. 1783), then adjunct teacher at the Randers State School (known as Randers lærde skole) and later teacher at Schleswig High School. To celebrate the Reformation Festival commemorating 300 years since Luther's 95 Theses, Boysen produced this brief study of ancient Roman games - perhaps to accompany the playing of some of the games themselves by the students - with citations from Tacitus, Cicero, Horace, Ovid, etc.
