Inglaterra, um <strong>dodecaedro romano de 12 faces<\/strong> foi encontrado quase intacto durante escava\u00e7\u00f5es em 2023. A pe\u00e7a de metal tem aberturas circulares e pequenas esferas nos cantos, mas nenhum texto antigo explica seu uso. O exemplar de Norton Disney reacendeu um mist\u00e9rio que atravessa s\u00e9culos de pesquisas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Como foi encontrado o dodecaedro romano de Norton Disney?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Em junho de 2023, volunt\u00e1rios do <strong>grupo de arqueologia de Norton Disney<\/strong> encontraram o objeto durante uma escava\u00e7\u00e3o em Lincolnshire. O artefato estava enterrado numa \u00e1rea investigada perto de antigos vest\u00edgios romanos. Sua <strong>boa conserva\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong> chamou aten\u00e7\u00e3o imediatamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pe\u00e7a foi recuperada no pr\u00f3prio contexto arqueol\u00f3gico, algo valioso para descobrir como um objeto foi depositado. O grupo encontrou tamb\u00e9m <strong>cer\u00e2micas da \u00e9poca romana<\/strong> na \u00e1rea. Esses vest\u00edgios ajudam a situar a descoberta, mas n\u00e3o esclarecem por si s\u00f3 qual fun\u00e7\u00e3o ela cumpria.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.em.com.br\/emfoco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/furos3-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-272713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.em.com.br\/emfoco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/furos3-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.em.com.br\/emfoco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/furos3-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.em.com.br\/emfoco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/furos3-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.em.com.br\/emfoco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/furos3-1-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.em.com.br\/emfoco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/furos3-1-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.em.com.br\/emfoco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/furos3-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mesmo ap\u00f3s anos de pesquisa, ningu\u00e9m conseguiu comprovar para que esses objetos eram usados.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">O que h\u00e1 de especial nas 12 faces e nos furos da pe\u00e7a?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O chamado <strong>dodecaedro romano<\/strong> \u00e9 uma forma oca com doze faces pentagonais.

No entanto, essas interpreta\u00e7\u00f5es encontram dificuldades, pois os exemplares t\u00eam tamanhos diferentes e n\u00e3o apresentam uma fun\u00e7\u00e3o evidente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A equipe respons\u00e1vel pela descoberta considera <strong>um uso ritual<\/strong> uma hip\u00f3tese de trabalho. O local tinha ocupa\u00e7\u00e3o romana e existem achados religiosos na regi\u00e3o, mas isso n\u00e3o estabelece uma liga\u00e7\u00e3o direta.
