Underrated joke

No, no you don't. Everything that isn't fully functional and necessary for life is a ritual object! And also some of the the other things to! It's all ritual! It's ritual all the way down, baby!

Archeologists after looking at literally anything: Looks like a calendar. Or maybe a religious object. Or maybe a calendar of religions significance.
People back then loved their religious calendars. That's all they ever talked about. Whole books could be written about them.
But instead of books to write about them, they documented their love of religious calendar artifacts, with more calendar artifacts.

There's probably millions even if you account for the fact that most would have been destroyed

What if instead toilet seats become a symbol for a group of genetically engineered super soldiers known for being Mary Sues?

Here's my contribution to the 'what the fuck are these things' guesses:
Its a customizable, weighted D12.
You stick the coins into the slots, then do some kind of gambling involving dice rolls.
Part of the game is that as coins are added or removed, the weighting changes.
Hell, it could be that you take turns tossing the thing till its full of coins, as a way of anteing up, then just toss it again untill its empty, everyone takes a drink when it lands with a hollow slot face up.
The educated, literate people probably wouldn't bother to write down the exact details of a low class gambling game, when literacy is rare and scrolls/books are expensive.
The things have reportedly often been found in cabinets and drawers alongside coins.
They vary in size... maybe some of the rather large ones could be commissioned as not a practical gambling die, but as an exxageratedly large one, as a trophy or ornament, like modern mall ninja swords or funko pops or
Possibly they could also serve a practical purpose for normal people and coin minters to check that their coins are properly sized.
Any... Roman numismatists here that can sanity check this, in terms of coin sizes?
