- A Roman dodecahedron, a mysterious 12-sided metal object, was discovered in the village of Norton Disney in England.
- The artifact is in excellent condition and is larger than many other dodecahedrons that have been found.
- The purpose of these objects remains unclear, but theories suggest they may have been used for ritualistic or religious purposes.
I still think they’re a test/show of skill for blacksmiths

An item that only the absolute best blacksmiths or metalworkers could make.
Sounds valuable.
As an apprentice blacksmith, yeah. I would have difficulty attempting to make that thing out of bronze, and would definitely learn more about smithing than I do now, just making the thing.
You could try making one as your next project?
But why were they only in northern areas?
I am guessing they are a tool of some sort. You can do a lot with angles and rope with two of these.
