” indicates Buddhists lived there in Roman times”
Click-bait. I have a Buddhist elephant but I am not a Buddhist.
To show my ignorance (again) does anyone know if the Buddha was a symbolic or mythical figure or if he actually lived?
From a trip to the unrestored capitol in ‘62; I had a hand of Buddha from an ancient statue in Ayutthaya, Thailand.
It had fallen from high above from one of the temples there.
I’m not a Buddhist either.
