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

What's that kajigger on the left dude's face?

Not entirely sure, I'm guessing something to measure vital signs since they were checking how viable it was for someone to fight all-day-long in the panoply.

Yeah that'd be my guess too, looks like it could be something to measure oxygen consumption

Modern design favors minimalism.
