Six-Sided Die

1st-3rd century (Roman Imperial) 11/16 in. (1.8 cm) Citation

The die is chipped at several corners. The sides are not exactly square. The edges are beveled. The numbers are represented by dotted concentric circles. Those on opposite faces add up to seven, a feature characteristic of both Roman and modern dice.
