There were even Roman soldiers found that were captured in the middle east and sold into slavery that eventually made it to China. Roman coins made it to India and Indonesia.
Even though they were far apart, it isnt like they were on different planets.

China was known to Romans as "Serica", the land of silk. They called the Chinese "Seres", and since 166 AD there was a Rome-India-China trade route via Erythraean (Arabian) Sea and Parthian middlemen.

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