- A Roman dodecahedron, a mysterious 12-sided metal object, was discovered in the village of Norton Disney in England.
- The artifact is in excellent condition and is larger than many other dodecahedrons that have been found.
- The purpose of these objects remains unclear, but theories suggest they may have been used for ritualistic or religious purposes.
We have random doodads and thingamabobs that someone made specifically for people to buy and just keep on a shelf for decoration; why can’t that be true of ancient things like these? They certainly look like some random knick knack that would sit on a desk and serve no other purpose.
