Looks like some kind of gauge to find the diameter of something. The holes appear to be different sizes as if it could be placed atop something to determine thickness. No, not that.
I've read the theory that they could be used to knit finger gloves, but which finger glove has only five stitches? I wouldn't can't really imagine how to knit with it.

I bet it's for knitting. How would you choose the right needle? Pull out your gallo-roman dodecahedral

would be funny if these were just the roman equivalent of desk toys and paper weights

Heh, some speculation is that they essentially are just decorative baubles or children's toys.

Definitely material for the pareidolia community. Oh… it’s already there.
