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

Imagine getting cut down by a dude wearing this helmet.

I could handle being cut down by a crab helmeted foe, but a la souvarov helmeted foe would be too humiliating.
