No of course the Romans did not reach China, I'm not daft! But I remember, vaguely, seeing a book in a store a few years ago about that. It was about a Chinese city having been built by Roman prisoners, I guess. Some story about a westerner digging that site or attempting to, while being waylaid by the Chinese, or even being shown the wrong site.<br>
But I never read more than the blurp (and you know what the quality of that can be) and never found out if this was fiction or fiction based on archaeology. Anyone?<br>
