A proposito di questo titolo

In Episode 3 of Silk Road Empires, Lucas and Luna explore the surprising connections—and missed opportunities—between the Roman and Han Chinese empires. How did a Roman merchant named Maës Titianus reach the Tarim Basin? Why did a Chinese general named Ban Chao send an envoy named Gan Ying to Rome, only to be turned back by Parthian lies? And could Rome and China have ever truly met? This episode traces the diplomatic near-misses, the trade networks that linked them indirectly, and the sobering reality of how geography and rival powers kept the two greatest empires of antiquity apart. Along the way, we meet Sogdian middlemen, Parthian gatekeepers, and the mysterious 'Da Qin'—the Chinese name for the Roman Empire. A story of ambition, misdirection, and the limits of ancient globalization.
