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.

So that weird trend of the manufacturung of the bottle probably making up most of the price of a bottle of perfume goes back to the roman empire‽

The more things change, the more they stay the same?

Though considering the price of some perfumes in Ancient Rome, the cost might be comparable.
