Researchers have been puzzled by the purpose of Roman dodecahedrons, 12-sided metal objects found throughout Europe. A recent discovery in the village of Norton Disney in England has reignited the mystery. Unearthed by a volunteer with the Norton Disney History and Archaeology Group, the artifact is described as “the find of a lifetime.” It is in excellent condition, complete with no damage, and made of copper alloy. Unlike many other dodecahedrons that were fragmented or damaged, this one is still intact. The purpose of these objects remains unknown, but theories suggest they were used for ritualistic or religious purposes. The artifact is on display in a nearby museum while further investigation is conducted.
