Found on Roman dig sites throughout Britain, France and Germany, this is the Roman dodecahedron. Dated from somewhere around the second and third century AD, it is made of bronze, has 12 pentagon shaped sides with differently sized openings and on every corner except one, there is a little ball. Sizes vary from 4 to 11 cm.
No one really knows what they were used for. Candle holder? Dice? War weapon? Child's toy? Weather gauge? Astronomical instrument? Religious symbol? Breath mint? There are books and websites dedicated to properly identifying it, dissertations dedicated to unveiling the truth, textbooks and class curriculums spent arguing over what its function is. It can even be liked on Facebook.
