Hired.
It reminds me of a Turner’s Cube. Which is just a pointless gee-gaw that machinists make to sharpen and show off their skills
Grok said it’s a weapon, so we can eliminate that one.
Almost anything is a weapon if you try.
Roman Dodecahedrons - my favored theory was that they were used to make wool gloves. Indeed, when I looked into it, someone had done this. AFAIK, cool as they are, and as many of them as have been found, no one really knows what purpose they served.
There is no evidence of knitting in the Roman Empire, which if it was there is weird when you consider how much art they made that shows other parts of their daily lives and how many deities they had for every aspect of life.
The solid ones would also be completely useless for knitting gloves. And why are these typically found in hoards of money if they’re a part of domestic life? It just doesn’t fit the available evidence. I don’t think it’s a bad idea, but it doesn’t work to explain all of them.

Those necklaces were Roman made.
Also really expensive even back then if you ask me.
Those look braided rather than knitted
My bad, call it braiding.
