This Roman dodecahedron is a faithful reproduction of the mysterious objects of antiquity, made from bronze. Each pentagonal face has an unique hole, connecting the hollow center, and each corner features a protrusion. These objects, dating from the 2nd to 4th centuries AD, continue to fascinate historians and archaeologists.
About a hundred of these dodecahedrons have been found from Wales to Hungary and Spain and as far east as Italy, although the majority were found in Germany and France. They range in size from 4 to 11 centimetres (1.6 to 4.3 in), and also vary in texture. Most are made of bronze, but some are made of stone.
Our reproduction is handmade with bronze.
Dimensions: About 5 cm high.
