The Mystery of the Roman Dodecahedrons


Listen Later

Twelve faces, dozens of questions, zero answers. Scattered across the former Roman Empire, mysterious bronze dodecahedrons have puzzled archaeologists for centuries. What were they used for? Why did the Romans never write about them? And why do they only appear in the northern provinces? This episode explores the leading theories behind one of Rome’s strangest unsolved artefacts.
