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 !historyruins@lemmy.world
Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

It's usually a matter of observing context, and many people fail to do that immediately. Including myself.
The first thing that should pop into a persons head is why is there a swastika on a coin that predates the Nazis by a thousand years. One or two web searches would answer that question.
