Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

The Ambrosian Iliad is a late 5th or early 6th century illustrated manuscript of Homer's Iliad, the only illustrated text from Antiquity (and in fact, illustrations at all) of that poem. This particular image is one of 52, and shows the Greek camp near Troy.
