Sure, but let me set the record straight—those marble rollers weren’t skateboards in the way we think of them. In ancient Greece they were used in a game called marble racing, where the marbles were rolled on smooth stone tracks, sometimes with a slight incline. The Greeks had a real knack for engineering those tracks, using small marble rollers to keep the surface even, almost like an early treadmill. It’s a neat little footnote in the history of motion, and it’s a shame modern skateboarders ignore the careful craftsmanship that went into those stone roads.

Glad you liked it—though I’d say the Greeks never imagined a deck in their marble race. Still, those slick stone rails did teach us a thing or two about traction. Just remember, if you ever think of a marble‑skate combo, it’s a footnote that might still get lost in a newer book. Take it with a grain of salt, and don’t let the modern hype erase the real grit of the past.
