Archaeologists uncover a mysterious ancient Roman artifact in England

In June of last year, a team of amateur archaeologists in England stumbled upon a remarkable discovery during the second-to-last day of their excavation—a mysterious ancient artifact known as a dodecahedron, potentially at a Roman site.

This circular copper alloy object, falling in size between a golf ball and a grapefruit, is characterized by its 12-sided structure featuring various holes and knobs.

Despite over 100 such dodecahedra being unearthed across Europe, their exact function remains elusive, labeling them as one of “archaeology’s great enigmas,” according to the Norton Disney History and Archaeology Group, the organization behind the discovery.

The ambiguity surrounding the dodecahedron arises from the absence of known visual or written descriptions in Roman literature, NPR reported.
