    IMP.VESP.VIIII.T.IMP.VII.COS.CN.IULIO.AGRICOLA.LEG.AUG.PR.PR. ( (made) when the Emperor Vespasian was consul for the ninth time and the Emperor Titus was consul for the seventh time, when Gnaeus Iulius Agricola was imperial governor (of Britain)).

      thanks for the explaination. I thought the Agricola part meant it was for farming or something

        Funny enough, there was a recurring problem of farmers illegally tapping into aqueducts for irrigation. It was permitted with permission, but many would quietly do it without paying the local government for the right to tap it, lmao.

    Needs a zoom-out, or something to grant greater perspective, with respect.

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.
