If my knowledge gained from many years of research gathered from the Discovery channel is correct, I believe this is Roman technology acquired from an Extra Terrestrial intelligence.

I think they’ve found over 100 of them, mainly in UK, France, and Germany. One theory I’ve see in they are an example of work by a craftsman, like a modern day CV.

Are all the holes different sizes? My first thought was that it was some kind of guage or measuring device, used for measuring the thickness of a rod.
Maybe… it’s for measuring portions of spaghetti.

I’m sure I saw somebody found it was very useful for knitting socks and gloves

It’s a dodecahedron with 12 gloryholes.
A dodickahedron, if you will.

pretty sure these were to help oracles perform rituals. inside would be messages like ‘outlook not so good’.

People had more time on their hands and someone was bored and wanted to see if they could?
Boredom is where a lot of both good and bad things come from.

The different size holes and this being Roman leads me to believe this is used to measure portions of pasta.

Clearly the little knubbin’s are supposed to go up your arse, rest is decorative.
Probably something mundane like a fancy candle holder

Didn’t they work out that this was for repairing knitted items, darning holes?

Looks like a game to me. Spin it with a certain sized ball inside and hope it stays inside the device.

It’s a d12. The romans obviously liked to play as barbarians.

I have one like this… each hole corresponds to the amount of spaghetti you need to cook for X people.
The Roman’s were Italian so it’s pretty obvious

All the theories, people say knitting etc, but these items are extremely rare, I would expect far more of them for a lot of the theories

I mean what happens in 2 millennia when archeologists are finding china Beagles on the site my nan used to live at. Did these people worship the beagle?

Looks kinda like a Luxon beacon to me.
Try concentrating on it for a minute.

So I see none of you have played the Wolfenstein reboots and for that I am judging you. That’s Da’at Yichud technology, that is. https://youtu.be/Kqn9GTEai7g?si=w4q3dvByLlU9Qtdj
