The history of the dice
The oldest dice in the world was found in the southeast of what is now called Iran. It was part of a backgammon game. A dice (also called bones, craps or shakers) is usually a version of a cube-shaped object with on each of the sides one of the eye numbers 1 to 6. The word 'dice' comes from the game 'dice'. Dice is derived from the French word 'doble', which means double.
