A Roman Mystery


This strange object is made of bronze. It has 12 sides. Each side is a pentagon shape with a hole in the middle. On every corner except one, there is a little ball.

Objects like this have been found on Roman sites in Britain. Our experts are baffled by what they were used for. Maybe a candle holder? Maybe a dice? What do you think? Let us know on the Contacts page.
