Wee OT, but...<br>
There's a book called _A Roman City in Ancient China_ by a Homer H. Dubs, published in '57 by the China Society Sinological Series. It's cited in a fn. on page 34 of Webster's _The Roman Imperial Army: 1st & 2nd Centuries AD_, 3rd ed.<br>
The fn. is on the capture of Crassus' 10,000 soldiers and says, "...a number of them may have eventually have been sold to the Chinese Emperor according to an ingenious theory of Homer H. Dubs...". I'd assume that Webster thinks there may be something to Mr. Dubs' theory, otherwise why cite him?<br>
