I think the mysterious "Roman" dodecahedrons (those bronze things with knobs at every corner and different sized holes in every face) are wrenches. Imagine a device with a round rod protruding. You put the rod through whichever hole is just big enough, and the protruding knobs press against something at the base of the rod allowing you to tighten or loosen something.

A tool doesn't exist in isolation. Where are the nuts and bolts?

I looked at chariot wheels first, where this slips over the part of the axle that protrudes. But I didn't see any chariot wheel pictures or models with 5 spokes.
