Bone Dice - Pair of Ancient Roman Legionary Bone Dice - Circa 250 AD Custom Museum Display

Own a piece of history with this Authentic Pair of Bone Dice (yes, dice made out of real bones!), dating from 250 AD from the Roman Era. Dice such as these were carried all across the Roman Empire by traveling, marching legionnaires during the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. After a long, hard day of toil and misery soldiers would congregate rowdily around fires, and in taverns, drinking and playing games of chance with their dice.

Each of these dice were hand carved from a single piece of bone, and made small enough to be carried in the mouth, if need be. They were discovered at a Roman military encampment near the Danube River in Eastern Europe.
