" Asian skeleton found in ruins suggests Roman Empire larger than thought "

According to the article, they are going to have to reevaluate a few things after finding a Chinese skeleton(s) in Italy. The skeleton (from the first or second century AD) was found in a cemetery on an Imperial Roman estate.

Cool beans, though I'm not sure how this implies the Roman Empire may have been larger than thought. I can see where it might suggest closer contact than previously thought or possibly that the occasional slave was part of the trade goods, but the idea stated in the headline seems like a bit of a leap.
