AGAZIA is our backgammon beach towel inspired by the old Roman boardgame Tabula (Byzantine Greek: τάβλι), the direct ancestor of modern backgammon.
The oldest description of the game is included in some epigrams of the historian and poet Agazia (527-567), headed down from the Palatine Anthology dedicated to the roman Emperor Zenone (476-481).
The word "backgammon" first appeared in print in 1645, but nobody knows where from. Both Shakespeare and Chaucer referred to the game as "Tables" in their works. Tables is a derivation from its longer Roman name "Duodecum Scripta et Tabula".
Today, the word "τάβλι" is still used to refer to backgammon in Greece, as well as in Syria and Turkey (as 'tavla'), Bulgaria(as 'tabla') and in Romania (as 'table'); in these countries, backgammon remains a popular game played in town squares and in cafes.
