The Roman game of Pila using a follis inflated ball
The Roman game of Pila (passing a ball in a traingle with the arm/hand) using a follis (folliculus) inflated ball. This passage from Plautus offers further explanation: " If a small (pila), they drove it with the hand, armed with a kind of gauntlet, hence called the follis pugillatorius."
