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.

This is a little confusing to me. The shields are called Celtic in style, but the raid from which they were captured was on boats constructed on the Baltic coast and occurred on Als, just off the east coast of mainland Denmark.

Does this tell us that what we attribute to Celtic culture was much more widespread, or that the attack force may have been Celts?
