Open 3D files on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons (or simply Commons) is an online repository of free-use images, sounds, and other media files. It is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia projects have long been a treasure trove of 2D images, audio, and video. Since last February we all can upload 3D models of objects to share a new perspective on subjects. This means objects like a 12th century knight’s helmet, a bird figure from Nigeria, or even a working jet engine model can be uploaded, downloaded, 3D printed, and viewed with enhanced interactivity on Wikimedia sites. For sure this is a good news for all the 0 A.D. community also.

Another one that may be useful for 0 A.D. and its mods...

Indiana University Publishes 3-D Models of More Than 300 Renaissance Treasures From the Uffizi Gallery’s Collection Online

As references, sure, but they've not made them available under any license which allows reuse, so the actual models can't be used.
