Damn, Dagger! You beat me to it! I was about to make a thread about this link.

This is a truely awesome find. Makes me wonder if a D&D player out there perfected time travel.

From the Lot Notes:

Several polyhedra in various materials with similar symbols are known from the Roman period. Modern scholarship has not yet established the game for which these dice were used.

Finally I have some justification for having D20's in my campaign world.

That is just too cool!

It must be mine!!!!

Too bad I don't have $4,000 - $6,000 to spend to get it.

And at a little over two inches, that's IMO a nice size die.

Maybe we can prove someone else copywrited "d20" before WotC?

I have a clear glass replica made by the Met. Its pretty cool, I use it as a paperweight. I hope whoever bought it paid less than 4000.
