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

The mix of BCE and AD hurts my brain. It’s either BC/AD (before christ and anno domini) or BCE/CE (before common era and common era), depending on how religious or secular you are. Please do pedants like myself a favour and don’t mix 'em.
The dating feels like it might've originally been Han dynasty, which then got translated into exact years for those unfamiliar with Chinese dynasties.
