Ancient History Auction (Discover the Ancient World)

A beautiful Late Antique Roman bone die dating from around the 1st–3rd century CE.

It is made from bone that, due to age and hundreds of years underground, has developed a brownish discoloration.

The markings consist of incised circles with rings and dots. Similar objects were used in Roman games of chance, gambling, or board games.

After the auction ends you can also pick up this die in Dordrecht. (This can be arranged on almost any day by appointment...)

When shipping, the item is very securely packaged so that nothing can happen to it in transit.

Een prachtige Oud Romeinse benen dobbelsteen daterend uit ongeveer de 1e / 3e eeuw na Christus. 

Het is vervaardigd uit bot dat door ouderdom en honderden jaren onder de grond een beetje een bruine verkleuring heeft gekregen. 

De nummers zijn voorzien van ingekerfde cirkels met ringen en stippen. Vergelijkbare voorwerpen werden gebruikt bij Romeinse kansspelen, gokken of bordspellen.

Na het aflopen van de veiling kunt u deze dobbelsteen eventueel ook ophalen in Dordrecht. (Dit kan vrijwel iedere dag op afspraak...)

Bij verzenden wordt het object zeer goed verpakt zodat er onderweg niks mee kan gebeuren.
