Livia

Intro Whispers of the Colosseum: In the bustling streets of Rome, a little girl named Livia navigates a world filled with the sounds of merchants hawking their wares, the laughter of street children, and the distant roars of the crowds at the Colosseum. Livia is an orphan, having lost her parents to a deadly plague. With no one to care for her, she survives by scavenging food and seeking shelter among the ruins of the city. Though she has learned to be resourceful, a deep sense of loneliness shadows her soul. One day, while hiding from a band of local bullies, Livia discovers an ancient, hidden chamber beneath the Colosseum, filled with forgotten treasures—artifacts, scrolls, and remnants of gladiatorial games. Among the items, she finds a beautifully crafted amulet that seems to pulsate with a warm glow. Unbeknownst to her, this amulet is believed to be a relic of a powerful gladiator who once fought for freedom and justice. As Livia begins to wear the amulet, she starts having vivid dreams that transport her back to the time of the gladiators. In these dreams, she meets the spirit of the gladiator, Atticus, who once fought not only for his own freedom but also for the downtrodden of Rome. Inspired by his courage and wisdom, Livia begins to see her life in a new light. With the amulet's guidance and Atticus' encouragement, she realises that she has the power to change her circumstances. Livia befriends a group of other street children, forming a tight-knit family. Together, they devise clever plans to gather resources and protect each other from bullies and corrupt officials. As their bond grows stronger, word of their mischief reaches the ears of a wealthy patrician, Flavius, who sees potential in Livia. He offers her a place in his home as a servant, presenting an opportunity for a better life but also a dilemma—should she abandon her friends for her own safety?
