Archimedean Solids
Key characteristics of the Archimedean solids are that each face is a regular polygon, and around every vertex, the same polygons appear in the same sequence, for example, hexagon - hexagon – triangle in the truncated tetrahedron Two or more different polygons appear in each of the Archimedean solids, unlike the Platonic solids which each contain only one single type of polygon.

Archimedes of Syracuse (ca. 287-ca. 212 BC)
Greek mathematician who flourished in Sicily. He is generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of ancient times.
