    Um, what kind of ceremony involves a flail?

      Rather than a specific ceremony, flails were sometimes carried as symbols of office. Think of it like the ceremonial mace some legislations’ sergeant-at-arms carries.

        That makes way more sense than anything I was coming up with. Thanks!

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
