De
handelscontacten tussen China en het Romeinse Rijk waren intensiever
dan gedacht.
Engelse
archeologen vonden in Londen twee Chinese skeletten uit de 3e eeuw.
Brittannië maakte toen onderdeel uit van het Romeinse Rijk.

grasslands.

Analysis
has revealed that two skeletons dating from between the 2nd and 4th
Century AD unearthed at the site in the city's Southwark area may
have been Chinese.
