I've seen one of these when I was a student at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. There is/was a small history museum on the main campus that I was looking through, which had a stone d20 with similar looking symbols. From what I recall, the display indicated it was actually older than the roman one in the news now (I want to say it was 5th century BC and from Greece, but I could be 100% wrong there), and that its use was unknown, but suspected to be for a game.
This comes up about every 2 months.
...since 5 years.
Does that mean the Vatican owns the rights to D20?
I think Paizo or someone should do re-pros of this - as an avid dice collector, I would kill to have one of these.

Chessex makes a "replica" Roman d4, which is a d12 that bears the numbers I–IV (each numeral is on three faces)...
Interesting - thanks for that.
I probably won't buy those (they don't have that 'crusty' look I wanted), but I now know what to do with some of my old D12 - what a perfect way to make D4 functional!
