Historical Artifacts

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.

Here I was thinking these were a thing that came to be within the last 5 years.

Astounding, isn't it? Though in the modern day, they're more likely to be used for tabletop games, whereas the Romans were fonder of gambling.
