Even The Ancient Romans Played D&D
A ROMAN GLASS GAMING DIE
"Circa 2nd Century A.D.
Deep blue-green in color, the large twenty-sided die incised with a distinct symbol on each of its faces
2 1/16 in. (5.2 cm.) wide
Several polyhedra in various materials with similar symbols are known from the Roman period. Modern scholarship has not yet established the game for which these dice were used."
Stupid modern scholars. I mean really. They were playing D & D you fuckwits, where do you think Gary and Dave came up with it.
