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

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Damn they could work stone. 2000 years old and still great work

The detail of cloth in Classical statues always gets me. Just insane work to get the appearance of a soft, flexible fabric.
