One of a series of scenes painted on a wall of the Caupona of Salvius in Pompeii. Two men are shown seated at a table, playing a game of dice. The first proclaims, "EXSI" ("I won") and holds a fritillus, a cup used to shake the dice. The second man protests with, "NON / TRIA DUAS / EST" ("It's not three, it's two").
