Welcome! This as an open forum for dealers and collectors of ancient artifacts.

Now, seeing what has happened to Ebay's Antiquities category, let me define what that means. In this case, an ancient artifact would be any collectible item of 800 years of age (or so) or older. This includes Greek, Roman, Egyptian, early Islamic, Celtic, etc.

Dealers should feel free to make the group aware of items they have for sale, and everyone should feel free to critique the goods, but there should be no dealer or buyer "bashing."

Legitimate, provable warnings involving intentional sales of fakes, etc. are welcome, but remember to share with the list the names of reputable dealers you have found as well. Feel free to ask for help identifying items, ask for approximate values, background information, whatever.

Or just share a pic/description of your favourite piece!
