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.

Not quite. "Mia" is mine or my. It reads "may my wound be mortal."
„My“ as in „the wounds I suffer“, or „the wounds I cause“?
Indeed. It's more of a declaration or curse to the recipient... "may my wounds I suffer (upon you) be mortal," is how I read it. Suffer being a little less personal and more action oriented, as if to say "inflict upon."

Fixed, thanks!
