What the fuck did they mean by this? Were romans just retarded?
>>542856300it’s a docking device, it allows multiple men to accurately dock their penises together. “Roman Handshake”
>>542856300dodecahedron retards?
>>542856300
It looks like something you'd attach to some logs to in order to make a frame
>>542856300It was to measure the wire guage for the famous Roman overhead power lines. A technology lost for almost 2,000 years after the fall of Rome.

It probably had multiple uses. Maybe some for sewing/weaving, maybe for measurements etc. Just an all around useful tool to have back in the day that was probably replaced by better less generalized alternatives that were cheaper to make.
>>542856300Its to check how much of the coin was clipped by coin clippers. But most likely just practice.
>>542856300I went into a deep dive on this object and it most likely was a celtic/gaulic spiritual object for rituals or ceremonial costume or whatever. Every other explanation like it's made for glove making, or finding distances, or ring size, etc etc etc all horseshit
>>542856300I think they used it like a tarot card after someone rolled it, and read their fate from whichever concentric circles were on top.
>>542856300That's one of the naval mines they put in the Hormussy when they wanted to get that Persian oil for their space machines, fucking retard.
>>542856300Didn't some old lady figure out these things were used for knitting or did I dream that?
>>542856300I watched the tv show where they dug that up.They have a theory it was akin to a fidget spinner, like a toy. Put fingers in opposing holes and rotate it using your thumbs on the protrusions.
>>542856666>spiritual object for rituals or ceremonial costumecopout label that retarded historians slap on every device that they can't figure out
>>542856845Yeah, it's for knitting gloves or something.
>>542856300We have a million trillion fidget toys nowdays and "decorative objects", I don't see why people think the ancients aren't allow to have their own bs viral trends.If anything, imagine living in a world with no electronics, media, videogames, etc. No phone to grab, or quick background youtube video.Frankly I can perfectly imagine that some metalworking guy did one "for the lols" with some leftovers, and some person liked it and showed off to someone else, and someone wanted one etc. Honestly, I am almost surprised we dont find more bs objects like that.
>>542857168And what would you use this piece of shit for then?
>>542856300Ancient roman fingerbox.
>>542856845>>542857168yeah, it was just a fabrication toolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76AvV601yJ0you can also use metal wire in them to make armor
>>542856300coin sorter, also acted as some sort of counterfeit detector
>>542856666>i dont understand it so it must be a religious object
That's a quantum yoyoThat's how advanced the romans were.
Worth noting btw that many CNC shops nowdays make a cube like this for machine test and calibration purposes.So it wouldn't surprise me (due to how widespread it seems to have been) if it even has like some sort of apprendice test or blacksmith "accreditation" or something
>>542857562Neither do you, genius
>>542856300its just an autistic trophy they gave to peopleit had some symbolism due to the number of faces it has, but is just a useless thing you put on some shelf
>>542857306Smash fossils into it then slam it into gear.
>>542856300I think it's gauges for lead pipe sizing.
>>542856300It was a sight used to measure distance.
>>542856666>Every other explanation like it's made for glove making,I think that was discounted because even the rich kept them aroundAnd rich people dont sit around making their own gloves
>>542856300Let's see you build one, Fag-dick.
>>542856300>what in da--??truly baffling, innit?
>>542856300fingerbox for party
>>542856952fuckin fidget spinning niggers
>>542857286>I don't see why people think the ancients aren't allow to have their own bs viral trends.Because the resources to make elaborate things were incredibly rare for most of history.That thing is metal, metal is for weapons and tools.Its also big, so it would have been insanely expensive.
>>542857306foot gloves
It was something very mundane because the romans never bothered writing one damn senttence about them and the romans wrote about everything
>>542856300it's a link of a chain or some part of fidget spinner that belonged to some giant
>>542856574None have been found with any wear from use. If they were knitting devices, jewelry-making jigs, or anything manual, they would show wear.
>>542858085It was for aiming a catapult. You use the dodecahedron to estimate the distance and then you crank the catapult down for that distance, and let her go.
>>542856300>OP discovers garloid bedsYou make yours sleep on the floor?
>>542857731If that were the case they wouldnt keep it, metal was rare and valuable until the development of modern steel making techniques.If it was just a test piece they would have recycled the metal when they were done.
>retarded?lol
looks like some weaving device. Or a sex toy
>>542856300it's a seed for one of these>>542830175
>>542856300To Romans they are war trophies of celtic conquest.Who knows what the celts made them for though
>>542858011Celts had metallurgy
>>542857731That's bronze cast
>>542858242they'd keep it as the proof of worth, first exam whatever the fuck. it was like "this is what got me into the job" or something.so undocumented that it's something meaningless like that. no historical relevance, just some technical shit like an interview or smth
>>542856300>What the fuck did they mean by this? Were romans just retarded?1800 years later, and they're still living in your head rent-free.
>>542856300It's D&D dice
>>542858447This is just one guy’s theory. Don’t repeat it like it’s a known fact.
Ye olde Roman Pet Rock fad that drove future civilizations to the brink of insanity>Look Father I taught my pet decahedron to store water lol
It’s a bronze smith’s masterpiece. An object meant to showcase his skill and prove he knew what he was doing.That’s why they are all similar, yet different. They were made to a basic template (12 sided object with graduated holes and decorative beads) but there was a good degree of local variation.
>>542856300And what of Good Solonius?
>>542857306It looks like some kind of censer.Used to burn incense in ancient times.Still used in the catholic church today.Maybe it's a pre-Christian censer.
>>542858683do you have any original ideas you midwit
>>542856300That’s either a weather balloon or a natural geological formation.
>>542856300It was a sex toy
>>542858764no swamp gas?
>>542858763What a crabby apple you are! You should cheer up and smile more.
>>542858864care to elaborate how they used it?
It's an ancient fingerbox. Here is mine got it from my grandpa.
>>5428588640___o
>>542856300Roman fingerbox
>>542856300future archeologists excavating plastic bad dragon dildos and silicon tits implants plus trying to make sense of female forms runes used on graves of male skeletons:>What the fuck did they mean by this? Were they just retarded?
>>542858889sorry
>>542858925A wooden fingerbox?How many fingers does it fit? Six million?
>>542856300Didnt people figure out that this is just a hair-styling device. A hairstylist picked it up and played with it and recreated roman hairstyles using it to fold and knit the hair together. We used to think the roman hair styles required supplementary hair in the form of wigs or extensions, but then she proved that it could all be done with natural hair and that little cube and some sticks.
>>542856574It's a tool for knitting gloves. You can find them online.
>>542858868Hadn’t occurred to me, good point.
>>542858908measuring dick girth
>>542857306it's an omni-buttplug, the "Roman forum"
>>542859003Of course wooden. They are the best.But organic materials break down over time so we now only have the bronze ones to find.
>>542859037knitters never stopped using them since the roman days lelNEXT MYSTERY?
>>542859037can't believe they had internet back then
>>542859024It was a knitting tool. Someone's grandma took a 3D printed one and used to knit some gloves or some shit like that
>fuckloads of mystery cults we know fuck all about except that lots and lots of people were members of them>some kind of ancient hypercube bullshit we also have no fucking idea abouthmmmor maybe you filled it with dirt and it was like an ancient chiapet that grew herbs for the kitchen or something
>>542859120kek
>>542858748That's what I thought, but how did they fill it?
>>542856533It can't be, the Romans switched to wireless transmission sometime in the reign of Numa Pompilius.
>>542858764Car headlights...planet Venus.
Nobody asked ai?
>>542856300It was for sewing gloves.
>>542856300That’s a torment nexus. Why did you post that? FUCK!I’ll start the ritual ...
>>542858011So? Niggers then niggers now.
>>542856574>probably, maybe, maybe...
>>542859325It's for knitting gloves people still use tools like it today.
>>542859024Yes.
>>542856300thats a multiplayer fleshlight
>>542856300>>542856574>>542856845>>542857731>>542859195It can be used for various purposes, as is readily demonstrated, but this doesn't tell us what the Romans made them for. Only what they might have made them for. Could have been knitting, could have been hair styling, of fidget spinning, or craftmanship demonstration... Or maybe something else. They didn't think to tell us, so we don't and can't know.
>>542859243The other part is wooden or fabric. That’s why only the metal part survives. Like the bathroom stalls. Wooden. Do you think they wanted to watch everyone else shit?
>>542856412>>542859217faggots like you need to go back
>>542859815back where?
>>542856300It's a Roman finger box
>>542859120This does explain the stimulating protrusions
>>542858135Yarn doesn't wear down bronze.https://youtube.com/watch?v=76AvV601yJ0This painfully slow video shows how it's done. The internet is a wasteland; that's the best vid out there.
>>542856412Like this thingTechnology is amazing
>>542856300You're meant to put the crystal inside it.
It's an authentic SPQR FVNKOPOP collectable. Everybody who's anybody had one, until it stopped being cool.
>>542859003looks like it could fit a few thousand after the cremation hanz
>>542858703>my cunt hungers, absent cock!
>highly superstitious society and their civilization loved sacred geometry>something with a great deal of variation in design and a lot of examples were clearly never used for anything utilitarianyeah they must've made gloves with these things lol dumb romans
>>542860384>clearly never used for anything utilitarianHow is that clear?
>>542856300>thing I don't understand.>THEY must be stupid!Totally bro.
>>542856300>some dude makes a neat shape as a test of skill>it becomes trendy>a bunch of rich people buy the cool shapeit probably has no practical purpose.
>>542859860Back in time to dock with other Romans
>>542856300It's not found anywhere near Rome. It's a Gallic elite thing.
>>542860681>>542856300Its a dungeons and dragons thing.
>>542860618hot
>>542856412Can confirm. That’s why it has the little knobs there. They are just handles to hold onto
>>542858011Well clearly this wasn't the "most" part of history. They definitely had time to kill for large swaths of roman history. And they had shit loads of metal. They would make decorative stuff all the time out of metal, gold and silver even.
>>542859943>ayo look dis sheeit it makes gloves n sheeit>ok no we's got our 5 fingas>guyz let me kno in da coment how ya think we's connectin dem fingas n sheeit n makin da whole handsheeit yeah I'm totally convinced now
>>542856300Those who know, know
>>542856845The reason for the lack of explanation of being a common tool is they arent ubiquitous like coins or other metal objects. They identify things like factories by the amount of clay pots, evidence of things line tannins or metalworking, etc. Ring armor was very time intensive, so would knitting gloves, the tools to make it easier would be more common though
>>542856300Candle holder innit
>>542861826Or some form of pole stand, possibly a caltrop for horses.
>>542859954Huh. Its a "Fuck Puck".
>>542856300>>542856412It's not gay if the dicks touch inside the docking device. Romans made sure their faggotry was not gay.
>>542862543Romans were gay though. They wore skirts.
>>542856300Let's look at it rationally. Those orb-like things on the croners vastly increase the thing's stability. From this we can conclude that it was meant to stay on the face it was set on.This rules out a role like being some sort of a dice.Maybe it was a candle holder? No. Having a hole on top would expose the candle to the elements. The thing does not look ergonomic at all. I don't think it was meant ot be used by hand. It looks more like something one would set in place and leave there. Mabye an anchoring point for something? I imagine one could drive a large nail through one axis, fixing the thing onto the ground, and use the other holes and perhaps even the knobs to tie things off to.
>>542856412You made them really mad, well done 47. Get ready for your next shitpost.
