MICATIO - a popular game played in ancient Rome, still played in modern times in Southern Italy under the name of Morra. 2 players count to 3 and then hold up a number of fingers - anything from 0 to 10 and at the same time shout out what they think will be the total number of fingers held up by both players ie anything from 0 - 20. Another gambling game. Whoever guesses the number right scoops the pool. The numbers of course have to be shouted in Latin.
