Ancient History Auction (Discover the Ancient World)

A beautiful and very rare Late Roman stone die dating from approximately the 1st to the 3rd century AD.

What is special about this die is that only the number 6 is inscribed on it and the remaining five faces are still blank. I have not seen this before myself!

It is made of white stone that has acquired a slight discoloration from age and centuries buried underground.

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

If shipping is chosen, the object is packed very securely so that nothing can happen to it in transit.

Een prachtige en zeer zeldzame Oud Romeinse stenen dobbelsteen daterend uit ongeveer de 1e / 3e eeuw na Christus. 

Het bijzondere aan deze dobbelsteen is dat alleen het getal 6 erin is geslagen en dat de overige 5 vlakken nog blanco zijn. Ik heb dit zelf nog niet eerder gezien!

Het is vervaardigd uit steen (wit) dat door ouderdom en honderden jaren onder de grond een beetje een verkleuring heeft gekregen.

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.
