Cultural Context: Roman dice were often used in taverns, gambling houses, and on the streets. Though gambling was banned in public spaces, it thrived in private venues, with iconic figures like Emperor Commodus promoting dice games. Roman dice were not only used for games but also featured in the Biblical practice of casting lots, a term frequently mentioned in texts like Leviticus and Psalms.

Gaming Tradition: The most popular dice game was "Tali," similar to Yahtzee. Dice combinations like Venus (1, 3, 4, 6) and Senio (6 with any other number) were highly sought after. Roman dice typically followed the principle that opposite faces added up to seven, just like modern dice.
