Here is a Roman D20 carved from crystal in the 3rd century AD. These were used, historians suspect for telling fortunes. However, no one can *prove* they weren't used for some kind role playing game. Which is what getting a fortune told with a die is kind of like anyways if you ask me.
"roll for initiative"
@futurebird Ancient Roman D&D!!!
Dvngeonvm et Dragonvm

The best translation i can come up with is:
Tenebrae et Draconēs.
Dungeon has a weird etymology, but tenebrae suggests both dungeons and (literal and metaphorical) darkness. It's also only plural, no singular form. It's pretty evocative, really.
