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 [email protected]
Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]
Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

It's so old that an average person has to wiki the culture that made this. Value estimate starts at 20k £ (if I understand correctly). ~10£ per year. Am I the only one dumbfounded?
Honestly, you can get some pieces of antiquity very cheaply. It's why ancient coin collecting is inside the price range of many ordinary people.
At least some positive
It surprises me both ways. One, how cheap such old things can be. Second, what being a billionaire means in connection to that
