Haha, they don't know how to use the three dodecahedron's.

Artistic embellishment.

with lead probably

It could also have been used for a game

What if it's a die for an ancient version of D&D? Labyrinths & Minotaurs. Or that thing you put treats in and then your dog rolls it around and gets a biccy every so often.

No, sorry. You're a roommate. Every thing is a ritual object, every one is a roommate and good friend.

Always love seeing these come up and everyone confidently stating that it's been solved. Everything from a knitting tool (highly unlikely as the Romans didn't knit) to a dice. The truth is we just don't know and likely never will unless a new source .
Personally I'm convinced by the theory that they're probably a metalworkers portfolio piece used to demonstrate the creators skill, either to potential customers or as a test to join a guild.

This is SCP-184.
But you probably don’t have access to that file.

Spaghetti portion measurer.

All we know for certain is that at some point that thing was on some bored Romans knob.

ion know why you saying “again” like you made a big point of it being a children’s book (you didn’t). I’m just saying I don’t like media like this. It feels like they’re delegitimizing research that is already brushed off by society as not useful compared to something in a stem field.
We can have different opinions lol
It's fiction? I think you need to take a second to actually read the link provided because it's very clear this is for children and your response to it is silly.

This isn't even a joke, I have an O5 ID card in my wallet. Fun little thing to pull out in moments like this lol

This is why there was no need to write about it.

This is why I couldn't have a time machine. I'd go back in time and fuck with people. Leave a modern day Bic pen deep in a cave in New Zealand, or a randomly shaped object with no clear use made from something like titanium in a forest in the middle of Brazil.
