I’ve heard someone mention that at some point rome and china found out about eachother and people went “ok cool, another enlightened empire surrounded by barbarians like us”. It’s probably some fake pop history “fun fact” but idk maybe someone can confirm there are actual records showing some people in either empire saying it?
