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]

I can’t believe this stuff is just sold in cans now. Diluted to aerosol form. Shameful, really

i wonder how many innocent peasants these bludgeoned to death...

A mace is a tool to defeat plate armour - can still cause bludgeoning damage and concussion just by smacking it hard enough. Regular soldiers would probably be wearing mail, which can be defeated by a piercing sword, and peasants would have a gambeson at the very best, which can be defeated with slicing swords or (preferably) axes.

No, these are weapons for killing aristocrats.
