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 ]
Measuring about 8 centimeters (3 inches) across, the dodecahedron is hollow and covered with 12 holes of varying sizes. The 1,700-year-old object will be displayed at the Lincoln Museum from May 4 ...
The regular dodecahedron can be found in many popular cultures: Roman dodecahedron, the children's story, toys, and painting arts. It can also be found in nature and supramolecules, as well as the shape of the universe. The skeleton of a regular dodecahedron can be represented as the graph called the dodecahedral graph, a Platonic graph.
Alternatively, if you expand each of five cubes by moving the faces away from the origin the right amount and rotating each of the five 72° around so they are equidistant from each other, without changing the orientation or size of the faces, and patch the pentagonal and triangular holes in the result, you get a rhombicosidodecahedron ...

A metal detectorist in Kortessem, Belgium, stumbled upon an unusual metal fragment that experts identified as part of a Roman dodecahedron. These 12-sided bronze objects have holes on each side ...
This polyhedron can be considered a rectified great dodecahedron. It is center of a truncation sequence between a small stellated dodecahedron and great dodecahedron : The truncated small stellated dodecahedron looks like a dodecahedron on the surface, but it has 24 faces: 12 pentagons from the truncated vertices and 12 overlapping as ...
3D model of a small dodecahemidodecahedron. In geometry, the small dodecahemidodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U 51.It has 18 faces (12 pentagons and 6 decagons), 60 edges, and 30 vertices. [1]
