Object type: DIE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but very worn die possibly dating to the Roman period. The object is a cube in shape although the corners have become rounded, possibly due to wear. There are small drilled holes on each side to give a number from one to six. From the middle ages onwards there is a tendency to place numbers on opposites side so that the total of the two sides is seven and has been called a regular layout (See Egan). This example does not show this layout and so could be earlier.
