AI-driven simulations helped archaeologists determine how an ancient Roman game was likely played.

Researchers used artificial intelligence to reconstruct the rules of a 2,000-year-old Roman board game discovered in the Netherlands.

Researchers couldn't figure out this ancient Roman game. So they let AI play it thousands of times until it cracked the code.
