CHINA-GANSU-ANCIENT ROMAN ARMY-MYSTERY(CN)
(110321) -- LANZHOU, March 21, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on March 15, 2011 shows the relic of an ancient town named Liqian, in Liqian Village of Yongchang County, northwest China's Gansu Province.
There are some forty western-looking villagers living in Liqian Village of Yongchang, whom, concluded by some experts and historians, are the descendants of the Roman Army in ancient times. Though the villagers said they had never traveled outside the county, they worshipped bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans' bull-fighting dance.
Some anthropologists are convinced the foreign-looking villagers with deep-set eyes, long and hooked noses are the descendants of the army men. In 53 B.C., ancient Roman army General Marcus Crassus was defeated and beheaded by the Parthians, a tribe occupying what is now Iran, putting an end to Rome's eastward expansion. But a 6,000-strong army led by Crassus's eldest son apparently escaped and were never found again. In addition, according to the record in Hanshu, or the History of the Han Dynasty, a Chinese border-defence army took part in a fight against the army in 36 B.C., whose tactics were quite similar to the legion of Roman soldiers. After the invaders were defeated by Han's army, they were settled in Yongchang under the authority of the Han government.
Chinese archeologists in the 1990s found the remains of an ancient fortification in Liqian of Yongchang, a key section of the Silk Road, a 7,000-km-long trade route that linked Asia and Europe more than 2,000 years ago, which was strikingly similar to Roman defence structures.
In despite of the discovery convince some anthropologists of descendants in existence, others are not so certain. In opponents' opinion, the county is on the Silk Road, so there were many chances for trans-national marriages and the 'foreign' origin of the villagers does not necessarily mean they are of ancient Roman origin.
