Voices of the Past released an excellent narrated video called: Ancient Chinese Historian Describes The Roman Empire // 3rd century AD "Weilüe" // Primary Source. In it Yu Huan of Wei gives us a window into what ancient China knew about Da Qin or ancient Rome. We provide context for the text and then go line by line to analyze what the historian got right or wrong. This includes his description of the silk road travel route by land and sea as well as his description of Roman customs, government, dependencies, and trade goods.
