Ancient Roman Athletes Playing Handball: A Glimpse into the Past of Sport and Athletics This image, depicting Ancient Roman athletes engaged in a game of handball, offers a fascinating window into the rich history of sport and athletics in ancient civilizations. Dating back to around 200 BCE, handball, also known as harpastum, was a popular recreational activity and competitive sport in the Roman Empire. The athletes in this print, dressed in loin cloths, are shown in the midst of a lively game. Each player holds a small, round ball, made of leather or wool, in one hand while the other hand is extended, ready to strike the ball towards the opponent's goal. The players' intense focus and determination are evident in their expressions, as they strategize and maneuver to score points. Handball was typically played in an enclosed area, such as a courtyard or amphitheater, with teams of seven players each. The objective was to throw the ball over the opposing team's goal line, earning a point for each successful throw. The game could be rough and physical, with players allowed to use their bodies to block opponents and steal the ball. The Ancient Roman civilization placed great importance on athletics and physical fitness, as evidenced by the numerous athletic competitions and games held in honor of their gods and as part of public entertainment. Handball, along with other sports like chariot racing, wrestling, and boxing, was a beloved pastime for Romans of all walks of life. This image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a captivating glimpse into the ancient world of Roman athletics and the enduring appeal of handball as a sport. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of athletics and the role they continue to play in our lives today.
