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.

Caesars and Coliseums...?

*in Homer Simpson voice* Mmmmmm... ancient roleplaying...

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?

Oh, I think we know...

Damn, if i only had lots of cash, the historian and the gamer in me both agree this is a must have.

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.
