Time Out

Achilles and Ajax Playing a Game by Exekias, Greek amphora c. 540 BCE., Vatican Museums, Rome.

In this scene on a greek pot we see warriors of the Trojan battle taking time out to play a quick game of dice. We know who they are because the artist put their names by them and signed the pot with "Exekias made me."
