 Tali is an Ancient Roman gambling game, also called 'knucklebones'. The game was played with four sheep's or goat's knucklebones (''[[wp:Talus bone|talus]]'', 4-sided rectangular dice numbered I, III, IV and VI. The Venus Throw (highest roll) happened when each talus landed on a different side, i.e. with a total of 14. A gambler would either throw the tali from his or her hand, or use a box (called a fretellus). There were thirty-five different throws possible. While the Venus throw was the highest, the Vulture throw (all "I"s) — also known as the Dog throw — was the lowest. The Venus throw could be used to designate the master of the revels.
