Roman Dice with Tesserae - Set of 6 Handmade Spiral Dice (Polished Bone)

Roman Dice with Tesserae - Set of 6 Handmade Spiral Dice (Polished Bone)

Bring the atmosphere of ancient Roman camps, medieval taverns, or Viking halls to your gaming table with this handcrafted set of six bone dice, historically known as tesserae. Dice like these were essential tools of chance and entertainment, used by soldiers, merchants, and travelers.

Each die is meticulously molded and polished from natural bone, resulting in a smooth finish and subtle off-white hue that feels substantial and authentic in the hand. The striking swirling design on each point is engraved and blackened to ensure excellent visibility and period-inspired character. Unlike machine-made plastic dice, each piece features unique grain, color variations, and slight shape differences—just like the originals excavated by archaeologists across Europe.

These bone dice evoke the spirit of centuries past and are perfect for historical board games, fantasy role-playing games, or simply as a conversation piece. Whether you throw them by candlelight or add them to a collection of ancient artifacts, they bring a tactile, time-worn beauty to any setting.
