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.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to [email protected]

Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]

Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

You're being attacked by mounted archers? Testudo.

You're attacking mixed infantry? Testudo.

You're taking a hill defended by auxiliaries? Testudo.

You're mounting a wall? Believe it or not, testudo.
