If you play Dungeons & Dragons, this object probably stops you in your tracks. It looks exactly like the "d20" you’d roll for a critical hit in a Saturday night gaming session. But this isn't a modern plastic prop. It’s nearly 2,000 years old, made of faience—a crushed quartz ceramic that (in certain techniques) self-glazes to create that vivid turquoise color.⁣ ⁣ While the Romans loved gambling with six-sided bone dice, this specific icosahedron was likely a tool for something much more serious: divination.⁣ ⁣ In the Roman world, people used "alphabet oracles" to solve their problems. This was essentially an ancient Magic 8-Ball. The system was simple: you would roll a die or draw a letter lot, note the Greek letter that landed face up, and then consult a public inscription or a guidebook to read your fortune. Each letter corresponded to a specific verse.⁣ One famous key to these letter-oracles, carved on a pillar in Olympos (modern Turkey), lists a prophecy for each letter. For instance, if you rolled or drew an Alpha (Α), the text reassured you: "The God says you will do everything successfully." But if you rolled or drew a Zeta (Ζ), the advice was grim: "Flee the very great storm, lest you be disabled in some way."⁣

I’m in Swansea today and I’m shocked and upset to find out Wales don’t celebrate Marina’s birthday like a national holiday. Sort yourselves out Cymru
