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.

Roman society produced enough of an excess... the result of an entire social system...

Nailed exactly what I was trying to say, but better and more filled out. As I said, I am just now appreciating the depth of Roman tech, economy and culture. And you're a big part of that!

And you’re a big part of that!

Hearing that I helped spark a little interest in Ancient Rome for someone absolutely makes my day!
