I could be mistaken, but I consider antiquity to begin sometime before the middle ages. Those are antiques (ie. from the Antiquity).
Edited to add: I looked up Antiquity and found a similar definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiquity |
Antique = more than 100 years old
Antiquity = before the middle ages
