Title
A complete Roman bone gaming counter dating from AD 50-410.
Description
English: A complete Roman bone gaming counter dating from AD 50-410. The counter is undecorated except for a central concave depression and a small central hole on one side, possibly from a lathe. The edges are bevelled outwards. Similar counters can be found in Crummy (1995: No. 2256), and in MacGregor (1985: pg132-133). Kenyon type A, they seem to have been produced throughout the Roman period with little variation.

Dimensions: diameter: 19.15mm; thickness: 4.43mm; weight: 2.05g

Other gaming counters on the database are LON-CD5569 and LON-5A9DBC.
