Roll the dice
The dice is cast...?
I think the die is cast refers to stamping metal, not dice

The phrase you're thinking of is "The die is cast", presumably uttered by Caesar upon crossing the Rubicon. The Latin was provided by fivejedjon already: alea iacta est. It means we've crossed the point of no return.
I don't think Caesar was stamping metal while marching on Rome. But if you have some new information, this might be a revolutionary dissertation in History and Classics.
