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.

Were Roman the only ones with Roman coins anyway?

Figure out a reparations angle and there will be plenty of lawyers doing the research.

I wouldn't rely too much on the integrity of the results though.

The recent super tsunami that hit Japan is an answer to how a lot of stuff got to America in the good old days ~ it got carried away with the debris and landed on a shoreline where astute individuals saw marvelous opportunities for useful tradegoods.

So, if Roman coins made it to Japan, the great Japanese tsunamis of 684 869 887 1293 1361 1498 or 1605 may have delivered them to a number of different places.

Oh, and as we've seen with the latest event, there's enough stuff carried along it is conceivable the debris fields could have supported a number of travelers as well ~ thereby explaining Japanese in Arizona, El Salvador, Chile, etc.
