        Matthew Paris's 13th-century account of the capture of an Englishman who acted as envoy for the Mongols during their European invasion c.1241 is also interesting—he had lost everything gambling at Acre, Israel, and then travelled east & joined the Mongols: http://www.caitlingreen.org/2018/03/an-eleventh-century-chinese-coin.html …pic.twitter.com/F4PZu2BVKD

        TEXT: "The Prince of Dalmatia took prisoner an Englishman... This man had twice come as an envoy and interpreter from the king of Tattars [Mongols] to the king of Hungary, and plainly threatened and warned them of the evils which afterwards happened, unless he should give up himself and his kingdom to be subject to the Tattars."

        Have you read Raoul McLaughlin's books, The Roman Empire and the Silk Routes and The Roman Empire and the Indian Ocean? You've really gotten me interested in the subject. I shiver thinking of that remote Roman outpost in the Red Sea

        I understand the book 1421 has been roundly debunked, but what do you think? (When I was young the theory that a meteor in the Gulf of Mexico killed the dinosaurs was also roundly debunked by scholars.)

        It's not something I'd be tempted to cite, I fear :-/ But there's certainly plenty of evidence for Chinese pottery and coins in East Africa and Arabia, for example :)
