Description: | A complete, possibly glass, gaming piece probably dating to the Roman period, circa AD50-400. The gaming piece is conical in form with a sub circular base and sides which narrow to a rounded point. The sides of the gaming piece are slightly faceted. The surfaces of the gaming piece are smooth and shiny and are mottled blue / black in colour. Light surface scratching is present probably as a result of movement in the plough soil. The material is uncertain due to the softness of the fabric and the object's unusually light weight. Dated as probably Roman owing to an assemblage of Roman beads and gaming pieces retrieved nearby.Diameter: 21.87mm. Height: 20.82mm. Weight: 6.81g.
