Saving Throw
Posted on June 16th, 2008 by Jay Lee
A 20 sided glass gaming die from 2nd century Rome sold at Christie’s for $17,925. Apparently the person who sold it obtained it from his father who brought it back from Egypt in the 1920’s
Unusual and intriguing in a nerd/geek sort of way. I must confess a sort of “my precious” desire for such an object.
You can see similar objects at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
That is very cool.
