Sinopsis
In 1953, near Arloff, Germany, a five-centimeter bronze object was exhumed. It entered the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn classified as a Roman dodecahedron, and it remained so for four decades. Until a mathematician noticed something decisive: that object did not have twelve faces, but twenty.
This icosahedron is the only complete specimen found to date.
Without explaining the relationship this singular bronze piece has with the famous Roman dodecahedra, any theory on the matter is left mutilated and incomplete from its very foundation.
What this book explains in detail is how the system that both objects formed actually worked. The icosahedron as the master calibration instrument; the dodecahedra as local execution tools. Together, they made it possible to determine the celestial milestones that structured the calendar in provinces where time was simultaneously a matter of state and a cultural battleground.
This hypothesis demonstrates that the mysterious variability of their holes was, precisely, the proof of their function. And with it, the enigmas surrounding their geometry, their geographical distribution, their varying sizes, the alloys used, the documentary silence, or their protocol for use… are all completely resolved.
It is for you, dear reader, to decide whether the enigma still stands.
