The Lost Roman Legion of Carrhae: Did They Become Chinese Border Guards?

After a crushing defeat by the Parthians in 53 BCE, 10,000 Roman prisoners of war vanished from history. Centuries later, a strange anomaly appears in Chinese records: a town called "Liqian" and accounts of soldiers using a "fish-scale formation." Could the lost legion have marched east? We trace the tantalizing clues from DNA studies on modern villagers in China to ancient military tactics, exploring one of history's most epic potential migrations and the enduring myth of Rome's far-flung sons.
