Historical background
After Crassus's defeat by the Parthians at Carrhae in 53 BC many Roman soldiers were taken prisoner; according to Pliny the Parthians settled them in Margiana in the east of their empire. A 20th-century theory that descendants of these legionaries lived in China at the town of Liqian is regarded by scholars as unproven. The game's name draws on this story.
