The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The Romans also referred to it as the small ball game.
- The ball used was small and hard, probably about the size and solidity of a softball, and was stuffed with feathers.
- The word harpastum is the latinisation of the Greek ἁρπαστόν, the neuter of ἁρπαστός, 'carried away', from the verb ἁρπάζω, 'to seize, to snatch'.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Harpastum article was read about 34,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
