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.

So he's got a big club, a lion skin, and glorious nipples.

But can we be sure this statue is a depiction of Hercules without seeing his perfectly tiny pecker?
