the course description says ā€œfourth century CE to ca. 1500ā€, so probably mostly ecclesiastical? but they’re similar enough that if they aren’t even requiring students to have any Latin I’d expect classical Latin to definitely be fine

Hey, so, why do the rules for playing forum games look like that? They tell a very interesting story about this forum, and I would like to know what this story is.

The rules themselves seem reactionary and in-the-moment solutions to very specific problems. Whether or not they are, they appear to be that.
