Any multiple of five or six would also work, Greeks knew their geometry. To hold it together, they used rivets, and/or the shafts themselves with the protruding end peened over. The state the thing is in (80+ fragments and apparent parts missing) makes me wonder if this one was being shipped as scrap, a common practice then as now.
