@@zackakai5173This is, honestly, the Occam's razor of answers. If it works like a knitting tool, and acts like a knitting tool, then it's probably a knitting tool.
Archeologists also say knitting hadn't even been invented at the time these things originate, but why let this detail bother us, right! Also: some people juggle chainsaws. So, chainsaws must've been devised to be juggling tools, correct?
This was really well done! I like your color choice for the yarn. Aside from being fun and eye-catching, it also makes it easy to see and easier to tell the stitches apart. Your camera position, focus, and lighting were all great. Thanks for the videos!
@@makecraftdo6620 Hi there! Would you be willing to give written permission to use a screenshot of the video in the wikipedia article for the Roman Dodecohedron? if so, please do so in the Talk section on the page! We'd love to use your image, since its use is so clearly illustrated! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron
This makes perfect sense at first glace. But how do you compare using the dodacehadron compared to other ways? Pros Cons? Is it easy to use? Easy to handle when pausing the work? Yes, it makes holes, but probably the gloves surfaces could be strengthened with plates of leather etc. Could you elaborate more how you feel about this knitting theory. Thanks!
What you have done with these is amazing, however I thought you may wish to know what they are,,,,,And stay with it because what you have done is neat. Lol A Roman Flog or Flagrum was a long handled whip used to flay, beat or whip criminals, slaves or prisoners with. These Flagrum had leather straps, or rope, or hemp or camel hair or horse tail or cat tails which had bronze or copper Dodecahedrons tied onto their ends. These when striking someone would bruise and at times remove tiny chunks of skin. In fact Jesus was flogged with one so intensely that he could not carry his own torture stake, so a bystander carried it for him. Sorry to have to break this news, but thought you may wish to know before I go public with my study articles and new information. The Dodecahedron you show in this video is much too large anyways. They were about 3/4 to 1 inch in circumference and these were ceremonial Flagrum used in the final decades of the Roman Empire for ornamental display to cause fear and also the holes when whipping produce a whistling sound. Most likely may have also been used to decorate horse mains of Roman Calvary Horses as well for ornamental display and to keep extras handy. The Romans were a sadistic people.

There is no evidence of this. If they were used to beat or whip anything there would be signs of wear and deformation from use, but every Roman dodecahedron found has shown little to no signs of wear and none are deformed. If these were used to create as much pain and suffering as possible, why are there no sharp edges on them? Until there is some sort of 'instruction manual' found their use by the Romans will remain a mystery. But I really love how this make sense and works. Most Roman soldiers would have had to do all of their own house-keeping and mending or creating of their clothing and equipment while in the field, as well as possibly for higher ranks, so having a tool to make woollen gloves seems like something a soldier could have (if they could afford it). Perhaps one guy bought one of these tools and shared it with their buddies. Who knows?
@@kevinsaul3757 I did not create the Flagellum I only studied about them in Roman text. And yes there are many in museums all over the world found in Roman cities, camps and forts. All use these what you call Decadedrans Lol. The Chinese used them also at about the same time span. And many were not made to kill or cut the flesh but only to bruise a slave. And they were also used to whip horses much like using spurs also. Which is what they were made for in the beginning and became a tool for slaves and criminals later. Rome got so common with slaves that the markets sold slavery goods for the household slaves as the elites would purchase only the best made flagellum likewise. Think on it and you will realize.
@@about2mount as the other poster said, there's not the slightest piece of evidence to support what you've said. Cite the "roman text" then you "studied" that said the romans tied those dodacehedrons to their whips. Such a text doesn't exist and you''re full of shit.
@@about2mount You want us to believe that when a simple rock with a drilled hole could be used for whipping, that a skilled metalworker would be tasked to create an intricate device with very specific odd-sized holes and knobs? You may want to look at maps for where these were found, almost all in areas where the climate was cold. If this was for whipping, why aren't these found as part of a group or with leather straps, but instead found alone including with collections of coins. You may want to look up Occam's razor rather than lecturing. Other crazy notions include... a musical instrument, a calendar, a device to measure poles for scepters. What a load of malarkey. A craftsperson quickly uses one to make woolen gloves, an infinitely practical device, and the best you have is to insist that it is part of a flagrum for wealthy slave owners? A 4" custom made brass dodecahedron? Perhaps the Antikythera device was a wind-up musical toy for children? This has been demonstrated that it can make gloves. Perhaps you could build one from brass and demonstrate its practicality as a flagrum. Good Luck.
@@aricwilmunder1652 If Romans could cast sithe's for their chariots in battles then what makes you think they could not cast their flagrum ends, bronze cups, bowls, plates, swords, knives and or spurs for horses. Your a tad behind on archeological history aren't you?
Congratulations for solving the archaeological mystery.
Well except it's not solved, we still don't know what they were actually used for historically.

The solution is on my channel. It's for certifying large money transfers across the Roman Empire.
Far from a simple explanation. The hoops one has to jump through to make this work for knitting gloves eliminate Occam's razor.
@@marcusnoble233 lmfao "knitting is too complicated for me so therefore..."
Just want to point out that archeologists say you can't make the palm on one of these but you have proven them wrong.
Nope!
Archeologists also say knitting hadn't even been invented at the time these things originate, but why let this detail bother us, right!
Also: some people juggle chainsaws. So, chainsaws must've been devised to be juggling tools, correct?
Really? Did you see her working the palm?.it woulnt be possible because theres no one hole for all the stitches to fall into.

This makes so much sense. Great job, fun to watch. Love the colors. Can't wait to see more. ♡♡♡
CONGRATULATIONS you found IT Out 🌹🥀🌺
I'm soo impressed with this. Clap clap clap!!!
aw thank you!

admire the perseverance...will be sticking to my five needles to knit my gloves
Can I make only gloves with this knitting tool? Because until now I saw only videos like that 😊
Brillant,well done ❤👍
So cool thanks a lot!

Not a knitter, but these could also have been used as glove liners for leather gloves in cold climates.
Better.
