Description: | A crudely-made, irregular, cuboid, lead alloy die. The numerals are punched circular marks. The opposing sides do not all add up to seven which makes it non-standard. The sides are numbered 1/6, 2/4, 3/5.It is 7.9mm long, 8.8mm wide and 8.0 mm thick. It weighs 5.49 g and has developed a white patina.It is probably Roman as similar styles are discussed in Crummy, 1983 "The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester 1971-9", p96, fig. 102. The use of lead, irregular shape and arrangement of dots all suggest it was locally made and therefore hard to date precisely; it could be Medieval or Post Medieval rather than Roman.
