Amazing Roman dodecahedron discovered in Britain (photo)
Amateur archaeologists have discovered an amazing Roman dodecahedron in the peaceful countryside of Norton Disney, England. This is a mysterious class of objects that have puzzled experts for centuries.
The purpose of the object is unknown to modern archaeologists, as there are no markings on the 12-sided metal shell, and they are not mentioned in modern literature. This was reported by Arkeonews.
It is known that there are about thirty-two samples, in whole or in part, from Roman Britain. The Norton Disney example is now 33.

The dodecahedron is an exceptionally good example and the only one in the Midlands. It is beautifully crafted, intact and in perfect shape.
It demonstrates exquisite craftsmanship and an unparalleled level of finish. It is a prime example of a skillfully executed and beautifully finished work.
It is also an important find, as it was found "in situ" where it was deliberately placed about 1700 years ago, along with 4th century Roman pottery, in a dug pit.
As a reminder, scientists accidentally tied the smallest and tightest knot, consisting of only 54 atoms.
