I read how China was frequently referenced in Latin and Greek texts as the Land of the Silk, when the Silk Road began to take shape between the two Empires. When did those two Empires became truly aware of eachother's existence (not as simple myths), and what account can I read about eachother's views, both in Latin/Greek and Chinese ?
Not to discourage any further answers, but there's some great content in the FAQ on Rome and Ancient China.
To what extent did Han China and the Roman Empire communicate or interact?
What are some examples of Roman/Han cultural diffusion through the Silk Road?
