Roman Buddhists is something I need to recreate in CK3 now; What a wild yet completely plausible concept.

Related, there are also accounts of Roman expats who converted to Hinduism whilst in India.

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.
