I mentioned the silk road for that reason. Nothing I said meant to imply direct trade with rome from Bali. I am sorry if I gave that impression. Coinage travels far when it's weight is tied to its value, or scarcity imparts extra value. If Balinese elites put roman coins in tombs, I would doubt its because they had low value to them.
