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.

Any chance to get some more details on this? I love the picture and have been wanting an octopus tattoo…think this might be what I go with

From the baths in Herculaneum, I believe, near Pompeii (and buried in the same volcanic eruption).
