Lot 189 is a deep blue-green glass Roman gaming die that has 20 sides, each incised with a distinct symbol. The die is 2 1/16 inches wide and the catalogue dates it circa 2nd Century A.D., and notes that it was acquired by its current owner's father in Egypt in the 1920s and that several polyhedra in various materials with similar symbols are known but "modern scholarship has not yet established the game for which these dice were used." It has a modest estimate of $4,000 to $6,000. It sold for $17,925. | Lot 189 is a deep blue-green glass Roman gaming die that has 20 sides, each incised with a distinct symbol.
