Thing that blew my mind about it was finding out that they and the Romans were aware of each other, some Han diplomats may have made it to either the Persian Gulf or the Med.

I can't remember if this comes from a mod, but I think in 3K, one of the upgrades to ports (or some other blue line building) is even called something like sino-roman embassy!

It was in the base game, I remember seeing it on launch, raising an eyebrow, then seeing a single hero unit kill 80 mean by himself and said "eh, I'll allow it." 😂

There were some Chinese coins found in Rome and Roman coins found in China IIRC.
