paganica = golf? - richsc - 02-10-2003 Another interesting tidbit from David Meadow's Explorator:<br> <br> "..a primitive ancestor of golf is thought to have evolved far away in ancient Rome, where a game called paganica used a bent stick to drive a soft, feather-stuffed ball at a target."<br> <br> I've never heard of paganica, though it sounds more like field hockey. What sort of references are there for this thing?<br> <p>Richard Campbell, Legio XX<br> <br> </p><i></i> |
