>What will be the story?

Some guy within the last 100 years had Roman coins and decided to bury them in Japan to freak people out. Sounds boring desu

No, the Romans likely didn't trade with Japan. The more likely explanation is someone centuries ago collected some coins, and had some roman and ottoman coins in his collection.

>>79635396
A number of Roman Emperors dispatched diplomatic missions to the East as they were aware there was another great empire on the other side of the world. The Chinese actually received some envoys during the reign of Marcus Aurelius and depicted the Romans as "Da Qin" and saw them, in the Chinese spirit of balance and order, as their counterpart empire in the West. Really interesting exchanges actually.

there really is no hard evidence linking Rome and China. Yes they were both aware there were kingdoms in the far east/west but nothing tangible to say that actual Chinese envoys visited Rome or vise versa. Even traders wouldn't travel that far without intermediaries

pretty sure most roman coins ended in india at least

Nothing particularly new or exciting here.

They've dug up Roman coins from the Mekong River.

Jesus christ you uneducated cunts.
Their respective empires spanned half the globe together, there was only a bit of central asia between them. Of course there were exchanges. Maybe not constant direct trade, but to sugges they were somehow unaware of each other or that some coins or goods couldn't have been exchanged through intermediary merchants is supremely retarded.

>>79635772
Yes? So let me get this straight. The Romans trade with the Chinese. The Chinese, who have no use for Roman coins at all bar the metal they're made of, decided NOT to melt them... Then trade with the Japanese... who they hated.... who in turn did not melt them either... but kept them...

Occam's Razor, laddy.

>>79635888
being aware Syria exists =/= being aware of the Roman empire. Read your own links, there isn'h a single depiction or description of Rome to be found, isn't it weird that this vibrant contact was established but the envoys wouldn't mention Rome once?

What makes this a big deal? There were trade routes all over the world back then.

Some guy picked up some coins that looked fancy to him and collected them there probably from some merchant. I have some chinese currency I got when I went over there years ago. It's worthless here but I kept it as a memento.

>>79635888
Irrelevant. The distance between the fucking most eastern areas of the Roman Empire and Japan is huge. Trading with the Chinese for no reason, who ended up then trading with the Japanese, is baffling.

When we know the French, Brits, Portuguese, Dutch and Americans all got involved with Japan, all of which had direct contact with Romans or ancestors did....

we are talking about couple coins which could simply be considered trinkets or collectibles. they didnt found ancient vault with thousands of coins.
>Then trade with the Japanese... who they hated
yes, for fucking millennia the relations between japan and china were EXACTLY the same and both countries interacted as if they were one fucking person instead of thousands of merchant, black market merchants, pirates, plunder from war, fancy diplomatic gifts etc. etc. you understanding of history is as deep as a puddle

> Whitfield-Manjiro Friendship House. In 1841, Whaling ship Captain William Whitfeld discovered 14 year old Manjiro Nakahama shipwrecked on an uninhabited Pacific Island. Bringing the Japanese boy back to America with him, the widower Whitfield arranged to have Manjiro stay with a local family, and sent him to The Old Stone Schoolhouse to learn English. After ten years, Manjiro returned to Japan where he was influential in urging his country to trade with the United States. Perhaps not so surprisingly, Manjiro became an instructor in navigation and ship engineering at the Naval Training School in what is now Tokyo. Though relations were strained with Japan after WWII (to say the least), in 1987 Crown Prince Akihito – now Japan’s Emperor – visited Fairhaven in memory of Manjiro and to promote peace between communities.

Fun fact: The Romans and Chinese knew well about each others empires but could rarely make contact because all of the powers in-between them routinely stopped their messengers from establishing full trade relations out of fear for their own stake in the Silk Road.

The Hellenistic Greeks and the Qin dynasty even made contact as well.
