EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of Roman bone dice, discovered at the WALL ROMAN SITE (LETOCETUM) in Staffordshire. These ancient artefacts offer us a fascinating glimpse into the leisure activities and pastimes enjoyed by Romans over two millennia ago. Crafted from bone, these dice were meticulously carved with precision and care, reflecting the craftsmanship of their time. The intricate details on each die tell stories of countless games played by Romans seeking entertainment and diversion. As we hold this print in our hands, we can almost imagine the excitement that would have filled the air as players rolled these very dice across gaming tables centuries ago. These bone dice are not just mere objects; they represent a tangible connection to an era long gone but not forgotten. They remind us that even amidst the grandeur of Roman civilization, people sought simple pleasures and moments of respite from their daily lives. Jonathan Bailey's expert photography captures every nuance and texture of these remarkable artifacts, allowing us to appreciate their beauty up close. This image serves as a reminder that history is alive within our grasp if only we take the time to explore it. As we gaze upon this photograph, let us be transported back in time to an age where games were played with bones instead of pixels – reminding ourselves that human nature has always craved amusement and camaraderie throughout history.
