Title
roman die
Description
English: A crudely cast, lead alloy die. The sum of the dots on opposing sides is not seven, as in regular dice, but 4, 8 and 9 respectively, suggesting that it may possibly be of Roman date, 43-410AD. (Egan in Finds Research Group Datasheet 23 suggests that medieval and later dice are usually of the regular layout). Neither is the size regular, as the die measures 9.6 by 8.9 by 8.3mm. It weighs 5.74gm. Alternatively, it could be a home made irregular die of later date. Compare IOW-F6ADA3, HAMP-1FD124,LEIC-5721E8, SWYOR-0B2B80 and LEIC-8806C0.
