Karpenkov has classified the lattice polytopes (that is, with vertices in the integer lattice \(\mathbb Z^d\)) which are regular with respect to those affinities which preserve the lattice. An alternative dual approach is adopted in this paper. For each regular polytope \(P\) in euclidean space \(\mathbb E^d\), those lattices \(\varLambda \) are classified which are compatible with \(P\), in the sense that some translate of \(\varLambda \) contains the vertices of \(P\), and this translate is preserved by the symmetries of \(P\).
