Description: | A crudely made lead dice, which is probably Roman. The numerals are punched triangular marks. The opposing sides do not all add up to seven, being numbered respectively: 1 & 6, 2 & 3, 4 & 5. It is therefore non-standard. It is 14.3mm long, 13.3mm wide and 12.3mm thick. It weighs 20.4gm. Mills 2000. Celtic and Roman Artefacts p. 113-114 discusses the crudeness of Roman dice, but the lead does not seem to be very patinated, so it is also possible that this is a home-made post medieval dice.
