Obviously you shove it up your butt.
It’s a hanger for you keychains
My favorite theory is that since it requires a bunch of techniques that are kinda difficult but also very important in metalcraft, it might have been some sort of benchmark. Like an ancient Roman benchy.
I saw great video where guy says he has a theory that since it’s almost only found around the north edge of the empire and how dodecahedron had strong symbolism for kelts, that it is actually keltic not Roman and probably sort of totem of good omen. I didn’t check his research but could be plausible
A football or something, I dunno, I’m not Roman
Its an artistic vase
Everyone has a plumbus in their home. First they take the dingle bop and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then…repurposed for later batches.
They take the dingle bop and they push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It’s important that the fleeb is rubbed, becasue the fleeb has all the fleeb juice.
Then, a schlami shows up, and he rubs it…and spits on it.
They cut the fleeb. There’s several hizzards in the way.
The blamfs rub against the chumbles, and the…plubis, and grumbo are shaved away.
That leaves you with…a regular old plumbus.
help i got my cylinder stuck in a dodecahedron how do i remove it
Just think of how many things we haven’t found and nobody wrote down
Stress ball
The theory with weird old objects is you have to show them to as many tradespeople as you can, to see if they have instruments that are similar. This doohickey *can* be used to knit fingers and thumbs on gloves, though that may not have been the original intention
A personal theory is that it was used to show complex shapes and mathematics to foreign peoples,as it’s easier to show then to try and explain.
Was not it proven to have been used for kniting?
Some abstract art projects
They really just wanted to mess with us
