Boardgaming.  What boardgame uses a D20?  I thought that was Roleplaying?

On that note, they played D&D in the 2nd Century?

Lot Notes
Several polyhedra in various materials with similar symbols are known from the Roman period. Modern scholarship has not yet established the game for which these dice were used.

What I'm curious about is if they don't know what game the dice are for, how do they even know they are for a game?

That's 2d4. You missed your saving throw and took a critical hiit from a level 3 magic user.
