The reason for the Roman coins in India is they were trading for goods; thinking about it, it may not be obvious for an American, but land commerce routs did indeed connect all the way already then. Edit: in China and Japan they were probably traded by India in the centuries.
There are roman coins in india because Indian civilizations and roman civilizations traded quite a bit... so much so that it nearly bankrupted the roman emipre since trade balance very heavily leaned in Indian civilizations' favor.
@@DominikPlaylists Well, you fecking can. As long as the currency is tied to something, alias gold or silver back than. Nowdays it is different. The dollar is a fiat currency, the US Government's only real drawback is the real economy and capitalist intrests. USA literally could be an utopia instead of a capitalist dystopia since it could found soo god damn many public works and services, since money never could be an issue.
This is the most "product of the American school system" Drew's sounded about geography in a while. Multiple Indian kingdoms / empires traded with the Roman Empire (particularly during Byzantine times) as did the Seleucid & Kushan Empires, though they had even more contact with the Persians who got Roman coin through trade and war.
Roman coins in South India is for Spice, Silk and Other trades. In central asia, because in roman era, Parts of Afghanistan and Central Asia have some of the biggest cities, like Taxilla, Gandar etc. And in China due to Silk Road I think.
roman coins are found in the trade centers mainly Amber from the Baltics incense from arabia spices from india Silk from China and central Asia is from caravans on the Silk Road gold and silver coins could be used all over the known world
India and Rome traded quite extensively. One Roman senator even remarked that their treasury was being emptied to pay for luxury imports from India. Something to the tune of 1 million gold septims a year.
The Romans traded with Indian civilisations, that's why so many coins in India. Fun fact: Present day India was the richest region on earth from 1AD around 1600AD, contributing to over 25% of earth's GDP. (PS: I'm not at all making this up)
True, but that's because India had about 25% of the world population then. Before Industrial Revolution, everyone around the world was roughly equally poor. But if your country had a larger population, it would have more "wealth".
@PLAGA217 Yes there is a misconception among many Indians that ancient Indians were rich based on the misunderstanding regarding ancient GDP. No,everyone around the world in ancient times was poor. Some kings due to the large population of their kingdoms had a lot of gold, but everyone else(99.999%) population was dirt poor and lived a miserable life worse than the poorest person in existence today.
@@greatwolf5372 not in china and india. you should read more about history about ancient travellers. china and india didnt had slavery too. western education actually sucks.
@@greatwolf5372 lol if you don't know about Indian history why are you saying false things? From textiles to spices, sculptors to artists, priests to astronomers, all were very well advanced. Astronomy: While West was still confused whether earth is flat or not, Indians had already found that the earth is a sphere which rotates around sun and there are galaxies beyond. Indians already measured distances between stars and planets & how a year works. Economy: There's an ancient Indian book called Arthashastra which tells how to run an economy with everyone's benefit. Hardly anyone was poor in ancient India. India was thus called "Land of Golden Birds" as just like how birds are found everywhere, gold was found in each house of India. Education: The world's first residential University was the Nalanda University in India. Other famous University in India was in Takshila. Students from all over the known world came to study in Indian Universities. There's a wrong misconception that Indians have always been poor. It was after colonialism that Indians became poor. Today a majority Indians are middle class, many of elite class and people below poverty line are less than 10%, which is decreasing gradually by each day.
The German map is actually partially true: the Germanic tribes actually has conquered Spain and Sicily, ost goths had migrated in nowday Ukraine territory, and even Crimea, and Rurik, first knyaz of Rus was Scandinavian, and Scandinavian are indeed Germanic folks
They conquered Spain and Sicily, but there were already civilizations in those places - older than the tribes conquering them in fact. Both had a bigger effect on them from Ottomans overall, and both are still first of all latin people
Overall it's pretty much a nonsense discussion as the idea of German as an ethnicity and nationality is barley 300 years old. The intent is obvious as if everyone is at their core German and the people are the state you can "unite" those peoples. It's akin to calling every native American tribe Russian because they came through the Bering strait over Alaska...
Drew... My guy. Did you forget modern day England was a part of the Roman Empire? Or that the Silk Road and it's navel trade routes have existed for millennia?
Silk road could be an answer to why roman coins ended up that far. As for India, they were definitely trading, roman borders stretched to Persia, so I would not be surprised if some merchants would travel to India
I was really surprised by the toll costs in the US. I'm not used to having to pay for driving along a road here in Finland. Got to take that into consideration if I want to make my epic road trip through the US some day I guess.

People often forget that india is like one of the oldest still living civilization and they still ask were there india when rome was around . Ofcourse it was and it may have trades with rome.
India is a civilization that started in the 1900's. there were other civilizations in south Asia before but most certainly not called themselves Indians.
Are you seriously claiming there was a uniform Indian civilization in the Vedic Period when Rome started? The fact someone in a book mentioned a word Bharat, does not mean there was a united civilization there@@hiihello7625
Lots of my family in Argentina has been leaving to go live with family in the USA and Italy since the economy has gotten so bad. When one of them had family over from USA over they gave 10 USD to a neighborhood kid, the dad said not to or else they‘d be killed. It’s bad.
Rome had normal trade relations with India. A lot of luxury products where imported from there. The trade was mainly done by Greek/Egyptian traders through the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.

Petition for Drew to make a series covering Ace Combat and its multiple universes: [Day 248] The Object 248 was a proposed modification to the aging IS-1 with the intention of equipping it with a 100 mm gun. There were two distinct versions. The first to arrive was Object 245, armed with a D-10 cannon, followed by Object 248, armed with an S-34. They were tested in the second half of 1944. At the beginning, they were considered a failure, as the modifications did not improve the performance of the IS-1 but rather made it even worse. It was discovered that the guns were unstable and could be damaged due to weak gun cradles, and the tank commander could be hit by the breech of the gun while it was rolling back after being fired. These were not fully addressed until the end of the year, when the majority of the design flaws were corrected. Unfortunately, it was considered too late, as both German and Soviet forces had already developed more advanced tanks that outperformed both tanks, and production was promptly cancelled.

India got some Roman Coins coz Thomas and other Christians went there in 70AD. Some of the Roman Tax-Collectors became Christians and supported the Mission in India. India actually was one of the first establishments of the Christian Church.
There were Roman trading posts in the western coast of India, that's how coins got there Coins probably reached china through merchants on the silk road
I love how Drew doesn't even consider the most obvious explanation as to why you'd find Roman coins in India: trade existed in ancient times too
my first guess was the portuguese ngl

Yup it is taught in our books that South Indian merchants used to trade with Romans. There is even a temple of Augustus in southern India.

I think Byzantium coins kinda roman coins too. Byzantium for sure have trade with Vikings, Rus, India, Khorezm and Mongols
China had some trade with Europe. That's why it is called the silk traderoutes
Yeah,India was a trade hub for centuries
Yes and the trade went even to central India
Ye
India was one of Rome’s biggest trading partners, but it increased a lot after Rome captured Egypt and had ports on the Red Sea.

sorry, but you can't bankrupt a country that prints its own currency just by trading in that currency.

there were a bunch of roman coins in india because of trade due to the two nations. there should be some in china as well
It is not that hard to guess why Roman coins were found in India.
guess drew don't know trade is a thing
Yeah he thinks indians were barbarians and had no brain to trade LoL like the rest of the world at this time!
Thinking that British brought it to the India was kinda stupid

In the inflation map, you are correct. 0,1 is probably not the real value of China, as many economists belive they are going trough deflation.
