What is an ancient Roman dodecahedron?
A Roman dodecahedron or Gallo-Roman dodecahedron is a small hollow object made of copper alloy which 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.
What is a 12 sided Roman object?
The dodecahedron is a 12-sided, hollow metal object that has small balls attached to each corner.
What is the use of Roman dodecahedron?
The Most Likely Answer: A Surveying Device? While the preceding theories are hardly implausible and might well explain what a Roman dodecahedron was used for, the most likely answer for these twelve-sided objects is that they were used as a surveying device.
What is the Roman mystery object?
In 1739, a strange, twelve-sided hollow object from Roman times was discovered in England. Since then, more than a hundred dodecahedrons have been unearthed, but their purpose remains unknown. The only thing we know for sure is where they were found, which points to a Gallo-Roman connection.
