The Lost Roman Legion in China - Ancient History DOCUMENTARY

In 53 BCE, an army of 40,000 Roman soldiers marched into the desert to fight the Parthian Empire. Only 10,000 survived the massive disaster at Carrhae. But these men did not die. They were taken prisoner and marched over 4,000 miles east along the Silk Road. For 20 years, these lost legionnaires survived by working as hired fighters, eventually building a Roman-style fort on the borders of ancient China. In 36 BCE, a massive Han Dynasty army encountered a strange group of 100 men using the famous Roman shield wall tactic. Discover the incredible true story of Rome’s lost legion, their impossible journey, and the modern Chinese village of Li-Jian where their descendants might still live today. #romanempire #lostlegion #ancienthistory #militaryhistory
