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.

If I remember correctly, Journey to the Center of the Earth (1960s, starring James Mason and Pat Boone) had a scene where they discovered an intact Roman street underground and they found this exact type of bread in one of the food stalls. I watched it when I was a kid and it made an impression.

I guess the set designers did their research.
