doesn't explain why opposing holes have different sizes
most plausible theory makes them measuring tools for distances and angles for distance weapons

Probably wasn't used for that. Sounds made up and unverified
>>
>>4892745
Probably it was... you just need to make a small effort and search.

"One often-heard explanation is that they were used in conjunction with divination handbooks. There is a 2nd/3rd century Greek oracle book, the Homeromanteion, preserved in three papyri, which refers to throwing lots to obtain a number, which can be used to look up ready-prepared oracle questions and answers."

If the Greeks used them for that, why wouldn’t the Romans? It’s neither unreasonable nor improbable. Either games or divination.

>>4896790
They are the non-religious equivalent of "BC" & "AD."

"BCE" (Before Common Era) is the equivalent of "BC" (Before Christ) & "CE" (Common Era) is the equivalent for "AD" (Anno Domini).

>>4896835
Which were funny anyway since Jesus wasn't even born in year 0
