Quite so, but I mean the particulars of its journey, the lives of the people involved, etc.

Something like a Michener novel.

That would indeed be interesting.

Roman ships got to China. The pagan Romans painted eyes on their ships. The Chinese say that and thought it was cool and started to put eyes on their junks. Romans had a counting board—Chinese copied and improved it as the Abacus. Lots of trade went on at one time. Chinese invented the crossbow—Romans were impressed with it and improved it.
