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.

What if we built some stairs, rolled out up to the wall and iunno call the stairs "testudo" ? Because I'm seeing a few OSHA violations in just this picture. No one is wearing high visibility gear. That wall could collapse at any time, and their ramp is not handicap accessible!
