• A Roman dodecahedron, a mysterious 12-sided metal object, was discovered in the village of Norton Disney in England.
  • The artifact is in excellent condition and is larger than many other dodecahedrons that have been found.
  • The purpose of these objects remains unclear, but theories suggest they may have been used for ritualistic or religious purposes.

    because it has 12 sides, the dodecahedron was associated with the zodiac… some mystics thought it represented the physical realm… it’s a perfect 3 dimensional shape if you care about the Golden Mean…
