    AD threw me for a little bit of a loop. I saw copper and brass and my mind just automatically substituted BC for AD. Then I was being really amazed with how well preserved it was… lol

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
