A cinematic handheld selfie-style video shot, showing a 20-something backpacker in a faded graphic tee and cargo shorts holding the camera at arm’s length inside the bustling Roman Forum, 55 BC. Behind him rise sun-bleached marble columns, toga-clad merchants haggling over olives, and a stern centurion on horseback who glares suspiciously as ox-pulled carts rattle past on cracked stone. Golden Mediterranean sunlight blazes overhead, casting crisp shadows and kicking up warm dust that glints in the air. The traveler gently tilts and pans the camera to reveal the marketplace’s chaos, then angles it back to himself, the lens catching a shallow depth-of-field blur of passing Roman citizens. He leans closer, slightly amused expression as he whispers. He says: Yo, I just asked for an oat-milk latte and they tried to sell me goat-wine—someone please patch the timeline.
