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]

Panis quadratus; it was standard for taking individual pieces out, a convenience like sliced bread for us in the modern day!

Your subjective opinion is incorrect.

The other shapes might not be as easily recognizable as "bread" to archaeologists, therefore lost. But also, 8 pre-divided sandwichable wedges would be good for families. Probably sold with a 6-pack of triangular sausage and a 10-pack of cheese triangles.

As if sandwhich toast would differ that much from one factory to the other.
