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.

Archaeologists have uncovered a 2,200-year-old Roman helmet during an underwater survey near the Aegadian Islands, off the western coast of Sicily. The rare find is linked to the First Punic War, fought between 264 and 241 BC, when Rome and Carthage battled for dominance in the western Mediterranean.
