Balloon, balloon-ball or wind-ball was a game similar to the modern game of volleyball in which a leather ball would be batted by the fist or forearm to prevent it from touching the ground. The game was played in ancient Rome where it was known as ''follis'' — the Latin word for a leather bag. Such a ball made of leather was quite heavy and so protection might be used such as a leather gauntlet or wooden bracer. When rubber became available from the New World, the game was played using lighter balls of inflated rubber and so younger boys could play too. ==See also== * Episkyros * Handball * Harpastum * History of association football * Pallone 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Balloon (game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
