- A Roman dodecahedron, a mysterious 12-sided metal object, was discovered in the village of Norton Disney in England.
- The artifact is in excellent condition and is larger than many other dodecahedrons that have been found.
- The purpose of these objects remains unclear, but theories suggest they may have been used for ritualistic or religious purposes.
Early D&D dice?
The Romans had dice that would roll better.
They seem to have favored d20 and d6, but other dice have also been found.
But I would bring my own to a Roman game of D&D, because the Romans also tended to use lopsided dice (They believed in fate rather than luck, so hand waved away loaded dice)
I go with the dices too
That’s fascinating! I had to look it up. They did indeed have d20s.
Awesome. So they were basically used in cleric spellcasting.
