Archeologists dug up this weird metal ball thing, I thought someone here might know a bit more about them, as apparently its not the first one found. I have no idea about what this might be used for but I have a feeling they might have a function and not be just some ornament.

Any ideas?
From Scientific America:
Quote: Roman dodecahedra are something of an enigma: there is no known mention of these 12-sided, hollow objects in ancient Roman texts or images. First discovered in the 18th century, around 130 dodecahedra have been found across the Roman Empire, although it is interesting that the majority have been found in northern Europe and Britain, and none have been found in Italy.
