<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3224361, member: 98035&quot;]IIRC, China didn&#039;t begin stockpiling silver until the Qing dynasty. They were a massive importer of Spanish silver, but any Roman era trade into China would have been marginal at best. If I had to guess, I would say that most Roman denarii that weren&#039;t stashed away for modern collectors was probably either melted down in India (the amount of silver minted by the Western Kshatrapas is staggering!) Or else it was dug up and melted to make medieval European coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, I have never even heard of a Roman denarius being found in China. Late bronzes yes, but not silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
