The Romans traded with both India and China, according to Pliny the Elder in his Natural History, so there should be Roman ruins in both places, along with some Roman DNA in the population. Unless one reads the Roman writings it is hard to understand the magnitude of the civilization that our government and most of the governments in Europe are based on.

"The Romans traded with both India and China, according to Pliny the Elder in his Natural History, so there should be Roman ruins in both places, along with some Roman DNA in the population."

Probably not.

Brian Sykes (famous for "Seven Daughters Of Eve") has done extensive DNA studies of the British Isles (Occupied by the Romans) and in his latest book, " Saxons, Vikings And Celts", says that he has found one small DNA group that may be related to the Romans.

Further, There are no DNA traces of the Picts in Scotland...they're essentially all the same people. I say that because on occassion, I've speculated that the Picts may have even been a different racial group, not so.

Also, Sykes says he should have said 'Eight' Daughters of Eve, not seven.
