Dice Quote by Julian Noyce
““This should fetch a good price. Hey! Longinus! I won his robe,” Atronius cocked his thumb at the man on the cross. Longinus, sitting away from the others, didn’t play dice. There wouldn’t be much point. Though he could trust his friends not to cheat he wouldn’t be able to see the dice.””
