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.

A furca, legionaries marched with their pack on it!

Oh wow. That's way worse than a backpack. But I guess it's way better when you have to carry a shield, and may need to dump your gear and fight at a moment's notice.
