The Roman dodecahedron, often made of copper alloy, reflects the craftsmanship of ancient times with its unique 12-sided design

[{"selector":"#anim-63bed129-6157-4927-b910-90c01b984fc0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1aa424b6-3793-46d0-8778-f3ece0d59e30","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7fc3ac5b-4634-4d2e-9ae5-266806758372 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-27.66345953617828%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

In Roman Britain, only 33 such dodecahedrons exist, with around 130 found globally, marking them as rare historical enigmas

Recently, a new dodecahedron was unearthed in Lincolnshire, stirring excitement and mystery among historians

[{"selector":"#anim-1a56f97c-3bed-4a71-969e-675061906acd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c4ecb7ed-4695-4082-9877-88a2ce8c8efe","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -475.50853%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This newly found dodecahedron is set to be exhibited at the Lincoln Museum, offering a rare glimpse into Roman engineering

[{"selector":"#anim-1f3fae1f-5e97-4537-afb8-db9a8a284b41","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-031c8516-5aa5-4c77-9a03-b27925e78933","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Experts are intrigued by the dodecahedron's undamaged condition and unique characteristics, unlike any other found before

[{"selector":"#anim-dd28355e-71f6-4e22-b633-28b96fb0ad00","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-830ca20b-1e39-4039-8eca-155d7cdbb70b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The dodecahedron remains a puzzle; not depicted in Roman mosaics or literature, its purpose continues to elude historians

[{"selector":"#anim-7e38bdfa-34bd-4bc5-a0bc-1a3da02bdf81","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a31c19fb-69f6-443b-84fa-e4ddc47696da","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aae3da86-4fbf-448f-b292-8a09614adb02 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.55775690161641%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
