The sun is hot in Roman Britain. Marcus is a young boy. He is at the big Roman bath. The water is green and deep. Marcus has a silver coin. The coin is a gift from his father. It is small and shiny. Marcus wants to swim. Suddenly, the coin slips. It falls. Splash! The coin is in the water. Marcus is very sad. He looks for the coin, but the water is dark. The coin is gone.

Now, it is two thousand years later. The Roman bath is old. A woman is there. Her name is Sarah. She is an archaeologist. She looks for old things in the dirt. Sarah finds something. It is small and round. She cleans the dirt. It is a silver coin! It is the coin of Marcus. Sarah smiles. The coin is a small piece of history. Marcus lost a treasure, but today, Sarah finds a story.
