Ancient Romans Were Into Lead-Based Makeup, Little Boys, and Apparently D&D

MAXIMA PLAGA! That's latin for 'Critical Hit'.

The famous Christie's auction house recently sold a two thousand year old glass twenty sided dice (as in the kind you should use right now to make a saving roll against bad Dungeons and Dragons jokes) to a collector for nearly $18,000. The dice dates back to Roman times, but it is unclear what sort of game it was used for. One thing is certain though: the Romans should have spent less time doing pen and paper role-playing in their parents' basement and more time defending against invading armies and staving off the decay of their once-great civilization.
