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]

A hard "c". The word in Greek (Keltoi) and thus in Latin (Celtae) used a hard "c", and it's only through French (Celte) that we've historically used a soft "c" in English. This is preserved in the name of some sports clubs, but modern English usage has reverted to the hard "c".
