A 2,000+ year old 20 sided crystal die used for fortune telling in the Roman Empire

There's a similar one in the Louvre

"1cm high rock crystal playing dice from the Roman Empire"

But the one upthread may be from this post
"A 2,000 year old Roman rock-crystal 20-sided dice. Possibly used in fortune telling, the Greek letter on each face may have corresponded to a reference in a divination handbook. Alternatively, it was used for an unknown game."
