Alea iacta est by Kamila Moravcikova

The ancient Roman-era cemetery has been discovered in Syria. One may say it's nothing to be excited about, but I am delighted! The ancient part of me suddenly woke up even though I am pretty sure my family has no roots in ancient Rome. I feel like I had to live there for sure. All ancient people used to have perfect tan as the Rome (and Italy nowadays) was surrounded by sea, you could easily spent whole day sitting near the Mediterranean sea, enjoying sun and ancient hot guys, drinking wine and eating grapes. And the clothes! Luxurious, fascinating, noble, smooth tunics completed with wonderful ear-rings, bracelets, necklaces! And men used to warriors so they used to have muscles you could easily fall in love with (their owner, of course). Have you seen the "Alexander" movie? Ancient women had to look like Anglina Jolie and men like Colin Farrel. Oh, and we can't forget to mention arts! Valuable poetry that is still up-to-date and unforgettable novels that'd became classic! Their wisdom, knowledge, architecture! But later I sobered up. Ancient people in Rome used to keep slaves and subdue other nations (and all those people they were not considered equal or even humans). They were keen on contriving and killing inconvenient ones, playing lethal games. They used to die in age of 40. No Colin, no Angelina. I need to find another historical era that's part of me and doesn't have so many drawbacks.
