How does this happen?
Trade and similar movements in Late Antiquity :)
Don't overlook a Viking connection for Sasanian coins in Britain. In Scandinavia, they have been found hoarded together with later Islamic coins http://www.cais-soas.com/News/2008/April2008/05-04.htm …
Indeed :) I excluded the Scandinavian coins from the map for this reason; fwiw, distribution seems different and none of the UK dirham hoards include any :)
