***There were even Roman soldiers found that were captured in the middle east***

Would these be the remnants of the army of Marcus Licinius Crassus, the General who defeated Spartacus?

Apparently some Roman soldiers were held captive (or settled ) in the farthest west part of China.

As well, some theories suggest the Magi were from China (as it took them two years to arrive — ie, the timing would be correct if they were following the silk road.)
