"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. "
Indeed... when geeks figure out how to go back in time to Roman era, accidently they immediately try to re-establish dominance through a game of D&D!
And you thought some other dice were difficult to read? Are those roman letters or numbers, or something else?
... I wonder if Crystal Caste will make similar versions to this by GenCon... hmmm... it wouldn't make a bad die color either.
