Thanks for your effort in posting these threads. It's important that we continue to learn from history. That's especially relevant this week. Plus it gives us something else to think about whilest we prepare ourselves for 2008.

Possible booty from raids of Roman settlements in Gaul and Britain rather than the result of trade?

Gosh, they always overstate these things.

Doesn't necessarily mean that the Swedes of the time had direct contact with the Romans, just that they had contact with somebody who had contact with somebody who had contact with (add as many as you like here) the Romans.

That's how you find oddball stuff like Chinese porcelain in a Gaulish grave . . .

WC, what about this? Unruly Swedes pinching pots and acquiring amphoras? Don't they have clay in Sweden? ;)

"football pitches"

Huh? Football? Doubt it. Pitches? Baseball? Prolly not. Most likely looks more like soccer, or some such...

They are sooooo confused!

j/k :-p

Not surprised the Romans had contact with all types of people. I remember another user here saying that Europeans saw American Indian tribes had Roman and Greek coins in their possession. I would not be surprised if American Indians encountered the Romans.
