Did you do the smart thing an buy the copy from the louve

What I want to know is what do the symbols mean

They're greek letters. In Ptolemaic times (the age of the die), greek letters were often used for counting.

What I want to know is what dice like these were used for: gambling, divination or gaming? AFAIK no one knows.

BTW I have spare of the Louvre reproductions of their similar die. If anyone is interested in buying it, please e-mail at afsimkin 'at symbol' hotmail 'dot' com.

The 50 euros was for the set of four reproductions shown here, i.e. the d20, d12 and 2d6. I don't think the Louvre does these sets anymore and they never sold the dice individually.

I'm offering the d20 from the set for US$35 or UK£19 plus shipping from the UK. The die is in brand new condition - it's never been used.
