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.

I think you got your order reversed. Wheeling was, if done “skillfully” 🤢, generally not lethal. The person would have their limbs broken to be put in the wheel so they can suffer very publicly for all to see. And only then they’d be hung and quartered, with the quarters displayed at various points to serve as further “deterrent”.
Thank you. You're right. I've looked it up.
