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 doesn't really matter, especially since we're talking about an ancient coin which existed ages before Nazism did.

Given what I’ve witnessed neighbors posting on NextDoor about government-controlled weather as a conspiracy to drive down land prices, and how “fema is stealing donations”, I’m going to go out on a limb to suggest that it does matter because most people aren’t quite detail oriented as you’re expecting them to be.

Most people are not Americans you know.

Well, to be fair, in the context of this conversation, we are talking about bringing naked men back into vogue for modern day currency but not bringing back swastikas.

We need more naked men on our coins. I’d start carrying change.

Yeah, but can we not have the swastika on the back?

So it is kinda relevant.
