Ah yes, "Worn Rock Path to Low Grassy Knoll', the little known precursor of 'Stairway to Heaven'.

I was watching a Luis Elizondo interview and he mentioned Roman soldiers seeing bright shields following them during battles.

Meaning UAPs were possibly the bright lights. It was during a recent interview on the Theories of Everything podcast.
110 is still a bit after the Roman Republic/Empire.

Guess this can go here
=================
Archaeologists in Bulgaria have identified an “exceptionally well-preserved” marble statue of a Roman man that was uncovered during construction in the city of Varna, once known as the ancient Greek city of Odessos.
Workers found the marble man outside the fortress walls of Odessos in an area filled with alluvium, which is a combination of sand, clay, silt, and gravel that’s left behind by streams. A small river used to flow in the area
The statue, which Bulgarian news agency BTA reported was likely created in the late second or early third century AD, is of a citizen of Odessos, according to the Varna Regional Museum of History.
“The construction entrepreneur Georgi Kraychev informed [us] about it in a timely manner,” the museum wrote in a Facebook post, sharing additional photos of the statue.
The museum said the sculpture is slightly larger than human height, and made of fine white marble. The only damage to the “unique” Roman-era statue was to the middle-aged man’s right wrist and face.
Wearing a Roman toga and holding a scroll, the bearded man was also identified on the statue itself as Gaius Marios Ermogeniesz. The name was inscribed on the pedestal below his feet.
The museum said the man’s clothing indicated that Gaius was in good standing with the Romans.……..
