Information on the Romano-Indian trade links is increasing rapidly. It wasn't so long ago that I read some articles about the subject, unfortunately I forgot to save them and I don't know which site I came across that had them. The discovery of these finds opens up a whole new perspective on Roman trade. According to some sources, mercantile activities didn't reach Roman levels again in Europe till the 18th Century.
