Fascinating stuff.
Rome signed a peace treaty with Parthia in 20 BC and required Parthia to repatriate its soldiers captured 33 years ago. However, the remnants of the Roman forces in Parthia were nowhere to be found. Where did they go?

Very cool. It seems history is changing daily as new things are discovered. It is actually freaky, like a TNG episode of time travel...heck maybe the borg will show up

On the reality side - this does raise lots of questions and I think history books will need revised as not only this time period is influenced but those down the line.

Very interesting...history doesn't change...only our knowledge and paradigms.

I saw it on TV that somewhere in China there's a village where all the villagers have greenish-blue eyes which is none amongst the Chinese people.And their architectures and customs are not so much related to the Chinese tradtion as to some other civilization that is claimed to be Roman.

And of course... All roads lead to Rome, except for the one that leads to Zhelaizhai Village.

Damn you Rob! As soon as I saw this I thought of that line.

Actually, it should be "When in China, do as the Romans do" to be more precise.
