It's just one of those shapes that existed before we were there to observe it. It's like a pyramid or a cube. Is there a 3D hexagon?

99% certain the boffins are over-thinking it. They are probably just ornamental like gazing balls or obelisks. Or else they are Time Lord technology.
The one on the left has different sized holes, I bet that is significant.

The one on the far right also appears to have varying hole sizes, and a huge hole without any incised border near the "bottom".

There is a video at the bottom of the link showing how someone used one to knit a glove. I'd be curious for our knitters to weigh in on this. It seems a little more complicated than just knitting in the normal fashion but I don't knit sew I don't know. (sorry)

I'm more than certain that it's an early sex toy...
Come on : - candlestick holders (wax was found in one of them), - staff or scepter decorations, - bludgeon - measuring device - religious artifact (one such object was found in a woman’s burial ground).

Canteen cup. Canteen cup stove (6.5 cm high). Canteen cup nestled in stove. Precise fit so tapered cup slides only so far down into open stove top and the combination is stable. Roman cup. The dodecahedrons are in the size range. Various size holes would accommodate various size cup bases. The projections above would help keep cups from tipping over if bumped while the projections below would act as heat sinks to help keep resting surfaces from being scorched. Heat sources (e.g. candles, wood) would have their own platform inside. It's the Roman version of the one cup coffee maker. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. |

It's obvious. They are control knobs for modified tardisis' (Tardisie?) focused on 3rd century Rome.
