A piece of chalkboard that reads "Assoc'd Press unconfirmed E.O.L. has Nobel Prize" with the edit "confirmed". On the left side there is "Nov 13 Bloodcount" with a list of names
Me: This isn't a recreation. This is the actual chalkboard which got sprayed with epoxy to fix it forever and then they cut that piece of chalkboard out for display here.
Them: What are those names on the side?
Me: Oh, that's a little slice of radiation safety history.

The image shows a rectangular Roman dice tower (turricula) made of four copper alloy (bronze) plates with punched cut-out Latin letters and cut-out decorative patterns. At the bottom front is a stepped exit chute with small bronze bells attached to the opening. The tower is a Roman anti-cheating device. It has an open top and is hollow inside except for three staggered, downward-sloping plates, designed to randomize dice as they fall, ensuring unpredictable dice rolls. When the dice rolled out of the exit chute they rang the bells! There is a decorative dolphin either side of the stepped exit chute. The top of the front plate has two decorative pine cone finials. Height 25 cm. There is a single die shown next to the stepped base to illustrate how it was used. The front inscription reads: PICTOS VICTOS HOSTIS DELETA LVDITE SECVRI Translated as: ‘The Picts defeated, the enemy has been destroyed, play in safety’. Around the top of the three remaining sides, a second inscription made with cut out letters reads: ‘UTERI/FELIX/VIVAS’ translated as ‘Use happily; may you live well’. Found at a Roman villa at Froitzheim in Germany in 1985.
Roman anti-cheating gaming accessory!
This Roman ‘turricula’ (dice tower) was used to ensure a fair roll of the dice! 🎲🎲🎲
Dice dropped into the top, tumbled over sloping internal levels, and appeared randomly below.

Cool. The food hall at Paddington has good variety but is a bit expensive. The surrounding neighborhood has any number of smaller places to eat that aren't bad so if you're on your own and feel like grabbing something you'll have plenty of choices.
Related advice: when transiting through Paddington on the Tube, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES change direction on the District (Green) or Circle (Yellow) line at that station. You have to walk an insane distance to do so...make the change at any other station.
