Object type: DIE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: City of Wolverhampton
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A slightly uneven cast lead die of three-dimensional cuboid shape (14.4mm x 14.5mm; weight: 30.92g). Each side shows a number from 1-6 that have been incised as single dots to a depth of approximately 1mm. There is one deep cut/ damage mark on the side with 5 dots. The die is in a slightly worn but fair condition. It is difficult to date dice as they appear in all periods, but Mills suggests that the more conventional Roman dice were made of bone or lead (see Mills, 'Celtic & Roman Artefacts', 2000, page 113, Ref no RB356). However, many examples of excavated dice from Roman sit…

An incomplete lead papal bulla, probably of Urban III (1185-1187) or Urban IV (1216-1264). Mass: 10.2g; length: 31.2mm; width: 20.1; thickness: 4.2mm. The fragment, almost half of a papal bulla, is sub-semi-circular, with the straighter edge being a break. The papal bulla has a brown/off-white surface, which covers the break.

On the reverse of the papal bulla is the head of Saint …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified probable silver artefact of uncertain function and dating. The artefact is sub oval in plan, and oval in section. One surface has a raised sub oval area. Edges are incomplete and exhibit breaks, suggesting it was part of a larger object. It measures 36.22 mm in length, 25.26 mm wide and 9.42 mm thick. It weighs 46.8 g (1.65 oz).
