The Romans were actively involved in the Indian trade. St. Thomas practically started preaching in Tamil Nadu since the beginning of Christ. Even near my hometown, Roman coins are often found regularly every few years or so. If I remember correctly, each peppercorn was equivalent to one Roman gold coin.
