i like how they skipped over saudi arabia but got to yemen some how
I wonder if it's down to sea fairing and trade primarily.
Yeah, that seems to be the most likely explanation for how the coins got to India too. Egypt was the entry point into the Roman Empire, and there were maritime trade routes from the Red Sea to India.
Possible that there aren't as many archeologic diggings there
Aden in Yemen has been a major port for the trade route to India since at least the time of the ancient Greeks.
