Oh, sorry! yes, that page was meant as a context. I referred above to 
the second wiki page I added, about the dodecahedron proper. I am highly 
interested in archaeology, so I try to follow the different developments 
and finds. This one was particularly intriguing as - until now - it is 
completely unknown what the object represented or was used for, or in 
what context, religious or other. The finds are restricted to the Roman 
parts of Gaul and the British Isles, so possibly a link with (non-Roman) 
Gallic believes can be inferred...
