Why Did Ancient Romans Make this Baffling Metal Dodecahedron?
#8
When I first saw these I immediately thought they may be miniature camp stoves.
They could have placed firestart material inside, blocking off extra holes if needed with mud or clay.
The knobs add stability on the bottom, and the top is used to place your pot/pan.
I've seen romans using fire grates to cook on, maybe this was better for an individual not wanting to bring attention to themselves.
the ranging sizes however make me feel like they are more than likely used for knitting.
Who knows, cool either way, I would like to have one on my desk.
