Anachronism

An anachronism is something that is out of place in time. It could be something from the past in the present or something from the present in the past. To make it really simple, it's like when something from one time period is put in another time period. For example, if you saw a person from ancient Rome playing a video game from the 21st century, that would be an anachronism.
