Description
A Roman dodecahedron or Gallo-Roman dodecahedron is a small hollow object made of copper alloy that has been cast into a regular dodecahedral shape: twelve flat pentagonal faces, each face having a circular hole of varying diameter in the middle, the holes connecting to the hollow center. Roman dodecahedra date from the 2nd to 4th centuries AD and their purpose remains unknown. They rarely show signs of wear, and do not have any inscribed numbers or letters.

I always wondered what these could be for. Now I can fidget with one at my desk. A lot of theories and none seem to be logically efficient or practical.
