Dan,
Look for Lantruculi - Chess/Drauchts (although I think you call Draughts Checkers on that side of the pond).
Tabula - a form of Bacgammon (Oxford games do a fun modern copy of this, called the Roman Game).
We also play Nine men's Morris (but I don't know the roman name for this).
Don't forget that simple dice games were probably more popular and more commonly played.
