ORACLE -- Anatolia (Uncertain City), c. 4th Century B.C.

In ancient times, dice and astralagoi were important not only for gambling, but for divination, in much the same way that D&D percentage dice are now thrown to determine "outcome".

An astragalos was a gaming piece made from the knuckle-bone of a sheep or goat, used in antiquity in a manner similar to casting dice and, in Northern Europe, casting runes.
