This dice tower will be so interesting to several groups of people! It is modeled after a Roman dice tower from the 4th century, so it would appeal to fans of history, of the ancient Romans, and even of military history. Teachers could use it as an illustration in several ways. And of course it can be used for today's tabletop gaming.

** The files include a version with and without the Latin text.

Here's a link to more info about the dice tower ours was inspired by:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vettweiss-Froitzheim_Dice_Tower

"The Vettweiss-Froitzheim Dice Tower is a Roman artifact, a dice tower (Turricula i.e. "small tower" in Roman language) formerly used in the playing of dice games. It was intended to produce a trustworthy throw of one or more dice. It was discovered in 1985 in Germany. It is preserved in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum of Bonn.

The tower dates to the fourth century AD and was apparently presented as a gift. It bears two Latin texts. The longer text commemorates a military defeat of the Picts. The shorter text wishes good luck to the unnamed recipients of the item."
