Given arbitrary integers k and d with 0≤2k≤d, we construct a
Gorenstein Fano polytope \Pc⊂\RRd of dimension d such that (i) its
Ehrhart polynomial i(\Pc,n) possesses d distinct roots; (ii) i(\Pc,n)
possesses exactly 2k imaginary roots; (iii) i(\Pc,n) possesses exactly $d
- 2krealroots;(iv)therealpartofeachoftheimaginaryrootsisequalto- 1 / 2;(v)alloftherealrootsbelongtotheopeninterval(-1, 0)$.
