The Roman Dodecahedron Mystery

Rome documented every grain of sand that mattered. Every law. Every coin.

Every death. Except this. Look at it. The Roman Dodecahedron. We’ve found over

a hundred of these bronze artifacts across the empire, from the mud of Britain to the borders

of Hungary. Always twelve faces. Always these mysterious knobs. But here is the

problem: Rome was a bureaucratic machine. They were obsessed with records. Yet,

in the millions of pages they left behind, there isn't a single sentence explaining

what this was for. That silence isn’t an accident. In an empire built on ruthless efficiency,

you don't spend centuries casting the exact same complex object in bronze just for fun.
