The man tripped. The camera—a body cam, Marcus realized—pointed up at the grey sky. A shape stepped into frame. A Roman centurion. Not an extra in a costume. The armor was dented, stained with something darker than rust. The helmet’s visor was raised. Where a face should have been, there was only a void of absolute black, like a hole cut out of the universe.
