guy Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 (edited) We have had many posts about the mysterious dodecahedron (see below). This example dates from the third or fourth century and was found in Norton Disney near Lincoln in 2023. It is one of only 33 dodecahedrons found in Britain and is unusually large: 8 cm large (3.15 inches) and weighs 245 g (8.6 ounces). It will be displayed this summer in Lincolnshire, near where it was found. https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/news/article/1853/mysterious-roman-dodecahedron-found-in-norton-disney-to-go-on-display-in-lincolnshire-for-the-first-time Note: I was surprised at the number of dodecahedrons (33) already found in Britain. Nevertheless, its function is still unclear: a measuring device, a sewing tool, or a gambling or play piece. Edited June 5 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
