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

That would be hard to fit in a parking meter.

The achaemenids were very anti car and by the end of their dynasty there wasn't a single parking meter anywhere from the Indus to the Yamuna

But what would be harder is to remove it when someone manages to make it fit by force.
