Solved? The Roman Dodecahedron 

I first heard about the mystery surrounding the Roman Dodecahedron in regard to the current theory that they were used as knitting spools to knit fingers for gloves. My eureka moment was visiting the Met in New York and seeing Roman jewelry with knitted chains. I will outline how perfectly designed the dodecahedron was as a tool for making what is now referred to as Viking Knitting using gold wire.
