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.

Early 1st century AD is correct, if it's one of those.

Those things must have been made specifically for each wearer. It must hav cost a small fortune.
