At first glance, it looks like a small mark in an old clay tile. But this tiny footprint may have been left by a Roman toddler nearly 2,000 years ago. It’s an ordinary little moment that somehow survived through time, and may be the only trace that child left behind. Do you still have anything at home that reminds you of your childhood?
