I've always dreamt of being an archeologist since I was little, and now that this dream has finally become reality I couldn't be happier

Today is a big day as we found a secret area that was hidden in the Colosseum. It's a small area full of shelves with a few books from important authors like Virgil, a thing that makes us think that this area was created during the Augustus era

As I carefully take a book and open it suddenly I hear the sound of something falling. A ring. I take it and analyse it. I can't really understand the material since it's pretty ruined but since it's a piece of jewellery it would probably be gold

I decide to take it home instead of giving it to my colleagues, I want to analyse it better

As I return home I start to analyse it and, I don't why, I prove it on my finger. It fits perfectly, maybe too perfectly that I forgot about it and I went to sleep with the ring still on

As I wake up the air feels different and I can feel that I'm not in my comfy bed anymore. Instead I'm... outside? A group of people around me looking at me like I was crazy and talking about things I can't catch...and then as I look around it hits me, did I just time travel? It looks too real to be a dream

Suddenly a few guards make the people move and look at me weirdly. I mean, I get it, I'm dressed and look quite different from people from Ancient Rome

They take me with them and bring me to the palace where the emperor is. As we arrive I'm facing the one and only Octavian Augustus. I'm scared but also completely amazed

The guards talk to him for a moment before they go out and I'm left alone with him

He takes his sword and looks at me. I start to get a bit too scared

"How did you get here stranger? Who are you? A spy from another village? You're dressed quite weird. Tell me, why should I spare you?"
