Antique rustic style bone dice – Our bone dice are supplied as a set of 5, which is ideal for most dice games. Made from genuine real cow bone, and have that perfect rustic, old world feel to them.

They have been designed to replicate extant ancient Asian dice and also are very similar to finds at the American Civil War fort at Cantonment Clinch.

The dice are approximately 1cm³ each

Dice were originally made from the talus of hoofed animals, although it is uncertain where they originated, they have been used since before recorded history. The oldest known dice were excavated as part of a 5000-year-old backgammon set at a site in south-eastern Iran.

The Romans were passionate gamblers, especially at the peak of the Roman Empire, and dicing was common though forbidden except during the Saturnalia. Horace derided youths who wasted time on dicing instead of horse-chasing. Throwing dice for money was the cause of many special laws in Rome. Roman dice are commonly thought to be rectangular instead of square.
