A Roman dodecahedron or Gallo-Roman dodecahedron [1] [2] is a small hollow object made of copper alloy which has been cast into a regular dodecahedral shape with twelve flat pentagonal faces. Each face has a circular hole of varying diameter in the middle, the holes connecting to the hollow center, and each corner has a protruding knob. [ 1 ]
Amateur archaeologists in England have unearthed one of the largest Roman dodecahedrons ever found, ... The 12-sided object is one of just 33 known to exist in Roman Britain, and one of ...
The regular dodecahedron is a polyhedron with twelve pentagonal faces, thirty edges, and twenty vertices. [1] It is one of the Platonic solids, a set of polyhedrons in which the faces are regular polygons that are congruent and the same number of faces meet at a vertex. [2] This set of polyhedrons is named after Plato.
The convex regular dodecahedron also has three stellations, all of which are regular star dodecahedra.They form three of the four Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra.They are the small stellated dodecahedron {5/2, 5}, the great dodecahedron {5, 5/2}, and the great stellated dodecahedron {5/2, 3}.
In geometry, the Rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid, one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces. It has 20 regular triangular faces, 30 square faces, 12 regular pentagonal faces, 60 vertices, and 120 edges.
One of archaeology’s most fascinating mysteries began a new chapter when amateur archaeologists in England found a large Roman dodecahedron — one of 130 of the 12-sided ancient objects known ...
In geometry, the first stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron is a self-intersecting polyhedron with 12 faces, each of which is a non-convex hexagon. It is a stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron and has the same outer shell and the same visual appearance as two other shapes: a solid, Escher's solid, with 48 triangular faces, and a polyhedral compound of three flattened octahedra with 24 ...
For example, a truncated pentagon {5 ⁄ 1} becomes a decagon {10 ⁄ 1}, so truncating a pentagram {5 ⁄ 2} becomes a doubly-wound pentagon {10 ⁄ 2} (the common factor between 10 and 2 mean we visit each vertex twice to complete the polygon).
