Old Roman Coins Found In Japan

By Frank Henville

How did Roman coins from around 300 or 400AD come to be found at a Japanese castle? Scientists aren’t sure. But the coins appear to be real and were dug up by archaeologists recently. One theory is that the coins traveled from Rome through Asian trade routes before arriving in Japan.

日本尋獲古羅馬硬幣
西元三、四百年時所使用的羅馬硬幣怎麼會在日本城堡裡？科學家仍不能給出肯定的答案。但這些近期被考古學家挖掘出的硬幣看來是貨真價實的。其中一個說法是，這批硬幣從羅馬經由亞洲貿易路線流通到日本。
