\nFVLMINATA features extensive research of the ancient world and unique game mechanics designed to capture the flavor of adventuring in the Roman Empire. Special eight-sided dice, known as TALI, sold separately, are needed for play, although this book features guidelines for using standard 8-siders in their stead.
