If you roll pi you lose a turn
It's amazing to see this Roman icosahedral die from almost 2000 years ago. Apart from the markings on the face it looks just like a twenty-sided die, commonly known as a d20, in use today by modern wargamers and roleplayers. Made of glass, it has weathered the ages rather well. Unfortunately, scholars have not determined which game(s) it was used for. Somehow I doubt it was for a game like Dungeons & Dragons.
