do you mean a roman link with canada or a historian who discovered a lorica and moved it to a canadian museum? <p>-------------------------------------------------------<br>

Not sure I know exactly what the questioner wants, but the Trasimene "lorica squamata" is in a Canadian museum -<br>

To my Knowledge there's no evidence that Romans ever got across the pond (with or without armour). However, the same is said for Ireland, but I know a few people who say otherwise. If there is evidence of a Lorica Segmentata in North America and it dates back to the Roman period you could be opening a whole new chapter of history, of which few people have only speculated.<br>
<br>
Your post has certainly got my interset.<br>

Romans in Ireland - Anonymous - 01-17-2005
From British Archaeology, March 1996:-<br>
"Roman Ireland<br>
The discovery of a possible Roman fort at Drumanagh, 15 miles north of Dublin, suggests the Romans may have invaded Ireland after all. The heavily-defended, 40-acre coastal site has produced 1st and 2nd century Roman coins, but its significance is disputed. Some claim it may have been a Roman bridgehead, used as a base for military campaigns inland, whereas others argue the site was simply a native Celtic settlement with evidence for trade with Roman Britain. The discovery, announced last month, was made a decade ago but kept secret because of a legal dispute over the ownership of finds from the site. "<br>
<br>
Mind you, it would be a long coracle ride to Canada after that.....<br>
