Roman Soldier

His sandals gave him away. I only noticed them because I had seen some strange bug run across the sidewalk in front of me. There was no mistaking it though, it was a roman soldier, calmly standing there, loading shopping into the boot of a car. I tried to act normal, pretend I had not caught him out. I thought those Romans were extinct ? Just goes to show you can’t take anything for granted. I didn’t look up, I just kept on walking like I saw time travelers every day and didn’t care. I peeked over my shoulder a bit further on , but he was gone.
