This is a wonderful excellent book introduces the ancient time silk road.

There are more Roman coins found in Dhanyakataka on the East Coast which are older than those found on the West Coast of India.

The sinhalese in srilanka knew all these parties (roman, chinese, persian, indian all by 1st century), they delt with all of them in the same time and yet nobody bothers to even mention how important this island is in this route.... The sheer amount of roman and chinese coins found in the island is massive when compared to other countries.... Yet its still overlooked... maybe their trying to reach a wider audience....

True! Sri Lanka is such a gem of archaeology. I am from Bangladesh and even we don't learn much about Sri Lanka's history in our schools!

Lol the silk road is a myth. The silk road ended in India. Roman empire and china where never exposed to each other. Why has there been no Roman artifacts found in china ie coins etc
