Traditionally, the history of probability theory is dated for the year 1654, when a gambler de Méré proposed to Pascal two problems to solve. The problems were solved independently by B. Pascal and P. Fermat. One rather ignores that similar problems had been discussed and solved two hundred years earlier by Italian mathematicians.
