WE WUZ JAPS N SHIET
how are they baffled?
>far reachin empire
>trade
>shit passed around
Silk road got rome coin to china, china got it to japan. Done
What if we were all Romans?
Fuck off Dany.
Also China traded with Romans, as did Persia both could trade with Rome. Not that baffling.
ORERA WA
Weren't there Romans that were captured and used as mercenary soldiers in China?
Rome traded with Indian kingdoms, Indians traded with China, China traded with Japan.
>knowing jack shit about Rome
there were huge debates if Romans even had heard of China lad?
Japan's recorded reliable history starts in the VIIth century
implying some ebin trole didnt place them there to ruse archaeologists
Baffled?
It's a widely know fact that China knew of Rome and Rome knew of China. In India there were forges that regularly counterfeited roman coins. Cultures always knew of each other, coins always got around.
This snow nigger gets it!
Pretty well documented that China and Rome knew of each other
This, the fact they went all the way to india shouldnt be hard to make it to china than japan.
Do you lads even read the articles?
It's a recent discovery, nonetheless
Good. I always knew i had superior nippon blood in my veins. Now i'm off to my geishas waifus waiting for me.
>there were huge debates if Romans even had heard of China lad?
There were? There were emissaries sent both ways. China shows up in Roman records and Rome shows up in China's record. There was trade (through intermediaries). China was on fucking Ptolemy's map.
Bullshit they definitely heard of China
no lol
I still think that this is all an epic ruse
>MUH ISOLATED COUNTRY
So turns out Japanese geisha qts got WHITED by HUGE ROMAN COCKS! And Samurai cucks were all watching it.
>This, the fact they went all the way to india shouldnt be hard to make it to china than japan.
It's all precious metal. Indian merchants could have passed it on to Chinese ones, who passed it on to Korean ones who passed it on to Japanese ones.
since we europeans are much bigger cucks i would not be surprised if we were actualy shipping our women to them
This doesn't automatically imply that Romans had knowledge about China or Japan. The coins as says could have been pasted around, the huns could have brought some back, the Romans could have traded with some Indians whom then could have traded with some Malaysians that could have traded with Japan.
was this based on a true story?

but there's still a possibility that "adventurers" traveled to distant lands
kind of like the Varangian Guard, a group of "vikings" that formed an elite body guard unit for Byzantium Emperors (Constantinople).
Anybody remember this article from a few days ago?
>Excavations at a little Roman cemetery in the south of London have revealed a huge mystery of history. Among the remains of ancient ordinary Londoners, researchers have found the bones of ethnically Asian individuals.

China is different from Japan
The Romans did actually interact with China
But yeah, it's likely that the coins were just traded after Rome
The article mentions that Ottoman coins were also found, so it probably is their fault
"The Last Samurai" didn't take place in 200 AD. It took place in like 1890.
DIS CUD MAKE GUD, BERRY GUD ANIMUU
Asians and Whites confirmed for always being best friends.
This seems accurate.

If there weren't that many coins found, then said coins could have been considered foreign or exotic collectibles to the Japanese. How old is the castle and how old are the coins? It doesn't seem crazy to think that a Roman coin could have been floating around for hundreds of years in the Orient as a curiosity piece passed between collectors. There had to have been a least a few Japanese aristocrats who were numismatists.
same shit as the viking tombs with rings with muzzie shit on them.
>oh cool trinkets
>we wuz kangs
etc etc.
>the pre globalist humans sure have a lot of interacial porn on their ancient storage devices.
I remember that the cherry tree was brought from Japan to Rome.
The point is that China traded with Japan. .
Let's not forget that whitey even made it to Mongolia, leading to Genghis having red hair and green eyes.
kek
Nah this isn't even new. Tombs from the Kofun Period (250-530 AD) have been found with Roman glass and beads in them.
Portugese trinkets from South America wound up in New England not all that long after the founding of the New England colonies. Trade networks are a thing.
>floating around for hundreds of years in the Orient as a curiosity piece passed between collectors
Coins had a metal value. By the time of the Roman "Crisis of the Third Century," Europe is described as being "awash" in foreign coins. A Parthian coin (for instance) might be valued not because of Parthia's strength but because it was 1 ounce of silver, and not debased with copper as Roman coins had been. (Chinese coins on the other hand were almost always made of copper.) So many random Emperors and pretenders had minted coins to pay their armies and they really didn't understand how inflation/deflation worked.
So while the strange lettering and images of Roman emperors might have been a curiosity, they also had an implied value of the metal.

Based on a composite of several different people and what was going on in Japan at the time, except Britain/France/Europe was replaced by the US to make it more appealing to American movie goers.
