What's it for!?


This Roman dodecahedron was found in Norton Disney in the UK, nobody has a clue what it was used for! Give me your best ideas as to its use please?

Growing strawberries, or a cooking instrument, to measure different portions. Each hole has a different diameter measure different portions. If I can find one, I would use for pasta, but of course they had no pasta at the time.

The knobs hold in place, hands-free, to do the measurements.

@Northwest This is one of the largest ever found so at 3 inches across strawberries aren't likely.

It wouldn't work for pasta as the holes on opposite sides are different sizes.

I'm completely intrigued by it...

It's not like they had pasta, but for measuring, it works, all you need is one hole.
