Q for the hivemind: what's the best place to find archaeological reconstruction illustrations? Struggling to find any online repositories

I'm specifically looking for examples of inclusive/intersectional depictions of Roman society (especially Roman Britain) would love any leads!

In honor of #InternationalWomensDay, our #ImageOfTheMonth is a marble relief commemorating two female gladiators —Amazon and Achillia.
Found in Halicarnassus, this relief was acquired through donation by the British Museum (1847,0424.19) in 1846, but prior provenience is murky.
