Always love seeing these come up and everyone confidently stating that it's been solved. Everything from a knitting tool (highly unlikely as the Romans didn't knit) to a dice. The truth is we just don't know and likely never will unless a new source .
Personally I'm convinced by the theory that they're probably a metalworkers portfolio piece used to demonstrate the creators skill, either to potential customers or as a test to join a guild.
My ancient roman friend says it's a candle holder for different sized candles

This is SCP-184.
But you probably don’t have access to that file.
This isn't even a joke, I have an O5 ID card in my wallet. Fun little thing to pull out in moments like this lol
This is amazing. I love it.
God this thing has gotten so beaten up lately. Clearly not the best quality lol that or I'm the longest serving O5.
This is the kind of insanity I wish more upon the world ❤️
Spaghetti portion measurer.
What if it's a die for an ancient version of D&D? Labyrinths & Minotaurs. Or that thing you put treats in and then your dog rolls it around and gets a biccy every so often.
Cave canem
Romanes eunt domus!
Haha, they don't know how to use the three dodecahedron's.
I just assume it's a random doodad. Like a desk decoration or something. Why wouldn't ancient people have had dumb bullshit that served no purpose other than it's aesthetic value just like we do now?
... Art?
It could also have been used for a game
It's a Roman plumbus.
Everyone Roman has one
This is why there was no need to write about it.
I always wondered how they made those
with lead probably

Seems pretty convincing and matches gold bracelets made in the era.
This is, by far, the most compelling theory I've seen.
Given that those things were so common, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other uses people have theorized could have happened too.
I've actually seen an old lady knit gloves with one as well.
They've actually all been planted by time travelers just to fuck with people.
This is why I couldn't have a time machine. I'd go back in time and fuck with people. Leave a modern day Bic pen deep in a cave in New Zealand, or a randomly shaped object with no clear use made from something like titanium in a forest in the middle of Brazil.
Archeologists after looking at literally anything: Looks like a calendar. Or maybe a religious object. Or maybe a calendar of religions significance.

I say it's a key to a door. Behind the door. Butt plugs.
And behind the butt plugs?
The declaration of independence
