The dice are cast - Decorative refrigerator magnet
The saying "The dice have been cast" serves as a proverb that certain events cannot be undone or are inevitably imminent. The Latin formulation goes back to Sueton's biography of Caesar, who appeared with his army at the Rubicon on 10 January 49 BC - the border river between the province of Gallia cisalpina and Italy. No Roman general with his troops was allowed to enter the area.
But while Caesar was still undecided, a gigantic figure had appeared, one of the trumpeters had snatched the instrument, sounded the alarm and crossed the river. Caesar then said: "Eatur quo deorum ostenta et inimicorum iniquitas vocat. Iacta alea est." - There it goes, where the gods call signs and the enemies injustice. The dice is thrown." (Sueton: Divus Iulius, 32f).
