What´s New In History: We Figured out Rome's Dodecohedron Mystery!

Rome left us roads, aqueducts, and massive temples—but they also left us a mystery. The Roman Dodecahedron is one of the most bizarre artifacts of the ancient world—found across Europe but with zero explanation. No Roman texts mention it. No art depicts it. And no two dodecahedrons are exactly alike. So what the hell were they used for? In this episode, Garry Stevens and I pull apart the theories, test the possibilities, and maybe even solve the mystery. Tune in to hear our take on the strangest relic the Romans ever made!LinksGenius!https://youtu.be/lADTLozKm0I?si=l01qEKbrDgpS0Kv7Great Video!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4-XDQkoywQ&list=LL&index=4&t=384sDisappointing!https://youtu.be/UbGtkbqbjtY?si=UspLXoCr9Q9pv1A0This is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.If you like what we do you can support the Fan of History project on https://www.patreon.com/fanofhistory or https://buymeacoffee.com/whatsnewinhistoryCustom Printed Shirts in 3 days!
