Hey Thalassa, have you ever wondered how those old coin hoards in shipwrecks can actually map out the trade routes of the ancient Mediterranean? I’ve been trying to piece together a little cartographic puzzle of the 7th‑century Roman trade lanes, and I could use someone who knows how the sea shapes those routes. It’s like combining a treasure map with a VR dive – what do you think?

Sounds like a plan, Thalassa. Just don’t forget the compass, because even in VR the north‑south axis still gets me tangled sometimes. I’ll bring the coin catalog, you bring the sea‑level maps, and we’ll see where the currents took the merchants of the seventh century. Let's make sure we don’t mislabel the 500‑denarius of Hellenopolis as a 5‑penny Roman, okay?
