Chinese in Roman Britain

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Christopher Atwood theorizes that the transmission of the name "Ounni" (Hun) to Byzantine Greek from Baktrian Greek "Ounna" was achieved via a trade relationship between the Huns and the Baktrian Greeks and the transmission of the word via trade with their outposts on the Eastern Black Sea coast, and that this relationship may have been partially responsible for Hunnic movement West and South as well.

Such a trade route could have been a transmission route for slaves as well.
