@caitlinrgreen I love to hear about early trade & cross-cultural encounters; a nice reminder that they began way before the modern period.
@hannahkateboast oh, I know! I decided to make map for similar reasons! Altho my fav import atm is this Bengal coin:https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/545267575165575168 …
@caitlinrgreen Wow! Wonder how it might have got here.
@hannahkateboast If ancient loss, via extension of same route that brought silver dirhams from Samarqand, Uzbekistan, to Britain??
@caitlinrgreen Also have a bit of a casual interest because my uncle works on Anglo-Saxons & for PAS. You may know him! Kevin Leahy.
@hannahkateboast Hah! Yes, I know Kevin well! He wrote the preface to my Britons and Anglo-Saxons! That's fab :-D Say hi from me if see him!
@caitlinrgreen Brilliant! Will pass on a hello, I'll no doubt be having a long and rambling phone call with him in the next few days.
