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 !historyruins@lemmy.world

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

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

Then this guy dressed as a trash can ran up to me with a sharp metal stick.

What'd you do?

I cut his totally naked feet off.

I'd probably copy Bugs Bunny and go in drag as Brunhilde, play a bunch of tricks on him and ride a fat horse around

Apparently this was worn by people in chariots.

Ah, so a stick on the wheels would suffice
