Vettweiss-Froitzheim Dice Tower

The Vettweiss-Froitzheim Dice Tower is a Roman artifact, a dice tower (Turricula i.e. "small tower" in Latin) formerly used in the playing of dice games. It was intended to produce a trustworthy throw of one or more dice. It was discovered in 1985 in Germany. It is preserved in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum of Bonn.
The tower dates to the fourth century AD and was apparently presented as a gift. It bears two Latin texts. The longer text commemorates a military defeat of the Picts. The shorter text wishes good luck to the unnamed recipients of the item.

February 8, 2025

MUNICH, Germany (AP) — "More than 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday against #FarRightExtremism ahead of the country’s #GeneralElection.

"The far-right, #AntiImmigrant #AlternativeForGermany, or AfD, is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on #February23.

"The protest at Munich’s Theresienwiese — where Oktoberfest takes place each year — brought a significantly larger crowd than expected, according to the German dpa news agency. The event’s organizer estimated the crowd could be up to 320,000 people, many of whom carried signs against the AfD with slogans like, '#Racism and #hatred is not an alternative.'

"The protest was supported by #ActivistGroups as well as the #MunichFilmFestival, #churches and Munich soccer clubs FC Bayern and TSV 1860, among others. Police told dpa that the demonstration was peaceful.

#ThisDayInHistory #OnThisDay #23February #February23

Last sunday we did a medium hike around Burg Guttenberg (Bad Rappenau). It started to rain pretty shortly after we started and it was quite cold and muddy during the hike.But I'd say it was still okeish.

And I definately want to come back in summer! Especially for the Jewish Cementary, which felt rather enchanted.
