My response to these sorts of things is to file them away. Unlikely, but few things are absolutely impossible. If they turn up a Roman bath in downtown Galveston while digging a foundation, that would add a bit more weight to the theory.

We'll probably never know of the explorers/adventurers that made one way trips, the ones that didn't return triumphantly like Columbus.
I'm told of volunteers that try to match gravestones in western America with families in Europe. Here lies Ollie Olufson, died in a mine shaft explosion 1879, no known relatives and the Olufson family back in Scandinavia never heard what happened to young Ollie who went west to seek a better life.
I think there is a business opportunity there, but darned if I'll go after that one.
Olufson might be do-able, but Romans in Texas? That's tough.

The Zuni Enigma Did a group of thirteenth-century Japanese journey to the American Southwest, there to merge with the people, language, and religion of the Zuni tribe?
For many years, anthropologists have understood the Zuni in the American Southwest to occupy a special place in Native American culture and ethnography. Their language, religion, and blood type are startlingly different from all other tribes. Most puzzling, the Zuni appear to have much in common with the people of Japan.
In a book with groundbreaking implications, Dr. Nancy Yaw Davis examines the evidence underscoring the Zuni enigma, and suggests the circumstances that may have led Japanese on a religious quest-searching for the legendary "middle world" of Buddhism-across the Pacific and to the American Southwest more than seven hundred years ago.
Nancy Yaw Davis holds an M.A. from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Washington. Author of numerous articles, she has long researched the history and cultures of the native peoples of North America. Her company, Cultural Dynamics, is located in Anchorage, Alaska, where she lives.
( I read this book. She presents a very convincing story.)

I think this has been done before. Didn't Clive Cussler have this in one of the Dirk Pitt novels?
