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.

DMiticus: Let's see . . . sneak attack, enchanted dagger, hmmm . . . 27 points. That's more than enough to take him out. Sorry Ceaser.
