Roman Dodecahedron as dioptron: analysis of freely available data
Amelia Carolina Sparavigna, 2012. arXiv 1206.0946.
Argues from published dimensions that the dodecahedron was a coincidence rangefinder (dioptron) and gives the optical equation.
What it's used for here
The rangefinder answer and the one analysis of hole sizes that is openly available.
