If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I've never heard of Roman coins being used that late but gold is gold no matter whose face is on it. Copper coins. If they were gold, they wouldn't have had to use instrumentation to find the faces. Gold doesn't corrode. There were very few Gold Roman coins and not many more silver. Copper was the thing.

That's about 1,000 years to get from Rome to the Japanese castle.

there was world wide trade in ancient days. Things moved around. We don't give the old days enough credit. Sam has the answer. Lots of items from all over the world have been found in odd places, including jade from Asia found in Native American campsites dating back to the 5th & 6th Centuries A.D. Items of value, such as precious metals and gems have been used for trade since the beginning of time. Ed

Neighbors trading with neighbors trading neighbors, same way Yellowstone obsidian can be found fashioned in many many different points from divers cultures that ranged from Alaska to southern South America, from Eastern Canada to Florida. Trade networks. It sure don't mean they all had to come to Yellowstone to get some.

There is evidence in New Mexico travelers from the Middle East came here as many as 3,000 years ago. There is aa eighty ton boulder with the Ten Commandments carved into it which some authorities date to King Solomon. If world travel was available to them certainly it was available 400 - 500 years after Jesus to Japan.

Same way similar coins found their way an indian burial mound in Arkasas: World wide trade routes. They existed. But at the time no one knew where they all went. One guy bought something and the coin was passed from hand to hand till it got there. It really is a small world, but back then it was alot bigger!

Had a compadre back in the early 80's who was quite the "pot hunter" and a bit of an ecentric. (Once he advertised in local paper for really ugly people To pose for him for portraits he wished to sketch). Anyway at the ending each of his artifact poaching sessions he would make an "offering" to the midden he was digging in. Usually a Chinese cash but sometimes Roman stuff. Some of it is rather reasonably priced.
About 1993 there was an article in the Austin American Stateman of a Roman coin found in a midden by an avocational archaeologist in Round Rock Tx. It was a spot well known To my old acquaintance. I dunno? Mebbe it had been there since time immemorial. Or was it??? Who knows? I will say the spot was well hunted.
Edit!!!!
4th century roman stuff in 14th century Japan would not be news to me. However, 14th century Japanese stuff found in situ associated with 4th century roman stuff? Now that would be newsworthy.

Years ago I met a guy who claimed his grandfather planted a skull and jaw in a sandpit as a joke on a friend who was an archaeologist or anthropologist or something like that back in his country. I asked him what country and he said it back in Piltdown, England !

While working as an archaeology student on this site in the late 80's, we discovered drug paraphernalia (pot pipes) lost by the archaeologist who were here in the 60s. Hell Gap Wyoming

303 AD was in the Fourth Century AD. Just like 1903 was in the the Twentieth Century AD. That's what I said.

Or was that coconuts? "Oh, yeah, an african swallow, maybe, but not a european swallow, that's my point." As to the coins, an interesting find but not so surprising for reasons already mentioned.

I just figured the Japs were undercutting the Roman chariot market with cheap imports that rusted out in 5 years....
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
