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]

One fascinating cultural practice of the Sarmatians is that they would gather together and stand in a line to block off closed roads.

Honestly, without the hat and shoes I wouldn't even blink if someone wore this walking around town. Neat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarmatians in case there are others that had never heard of those people.

Isn't the good samaritan not a famous parable?

Sarmatians are different from Samaritans.
