Roman settlement in the USA

[Jona Lendering]

Romans? Nope.

That's too fast; of course Mr Sherlock's find is from Britian and this article is a mistake. But there is this one little, tantalizing find from Mexico: a terracotta of a bearded head. Had it been found in Spain, we would have called it Jupiter. The Aztecs didn't know terracotta, and beards are rare in pre-Columbian art. The discovery was reported in a real scientific journal. I think it is not excluded that a Roman cargo ship accidentally reached the Americas. What that means, I do not know.
