It's not surprising at all, Rome had strong trade relations with India
There are Roman coins found as far as Okinawa
Also, OP's map isn't about finds of singular coins, but of coin hoards

Southern India was one of the most lucrative and usually final destination for Roman traders. The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea outlines how even local rulers made entire systems to create pepper to sell to Roman traders due to the large volume and demand for it in the west. Usually Romans traded wine (which was a trope in Roman writings that Indians loved wine and always fell over drunk when drinking) and textiles going east.
There's no such thing as a "Roman coin". Rome wasn't one unified nation, it was a fragmented set of smaller states across much of Southern Europe that rose and fell over 1.5 millennia.

Turkey coming in having fucking awful archeological practices yet again. Just refusing to document shit despite having a wealth of physical history
I mean, it's a fact. No historian worth their salt would agree "Rome" was a single state, which it wasn't. That's why the phrase "Roman coin" doesn't make sense.

One ancient scholar, Tony Garuti actually agrees that what we call "Rome" was one of the most discordant things in all of ancient history, and that there doesn't even exist a proper definition of what "Rome" is.
I'm on your tongue, lips, and mind every day. The same for all of you Satanist fags. That's because you know I'm the one God anointed to convert 4chan. Lol.

They sold mostly proto-rooskies from Kiev, what do you think was the main point of Rus? Building a vast Russian empire to preemptively strike nafo 1000 years before it is formed?
