The Dead Leigon

A long time ago, in Rome, something strange happened. It was in 1654 when a massive storm sweapt in from the Mediterranean. Great dark clouds swirled as tennis ball-size hail pummeled the city. In the Coliseum, a single, white-hot lightning bolt struck the muddy ground. it traveled under layers of sediment until it hit a mass of skeletons, some in the uniforms of roman officers, some in the meagre armor of gladiators, and others great elephants and lions. It there the lightning tip hovered, building up energy. there was a brilliant flash, and a gigantic crater was formed in the groud, extending down to the skeletons. after the flash, when the storm had cleared up, and everything was sunny again, one of the skeletons, in dented bronze armor and a with a crushes bronze centuron's helmet, it moved.
