I own some Roman coins. Does that mean the Roman Empire held sway over Cody, Wyoming or does it just mean someone here has/had some Roman coins?

:’) If you find a Roman road while putting in a flower garden, we’ll have a GGG topic about it right away.

Some local Brit might have had the coins, but I can’t imagine anyone but the Romans would be putting garum/fish sauce on their food-the modern version made in the Far East is bad enough-the smell alone could make a hungry bear puke...

The Romans made a downpayment on the Medicine Wheel, but couldn’t find their way back.

I also have roman coins. However I don't have remnants of a roman road or roman vessels on my property and they do at this site.

But I still feel my claim to the imperial throne is strong.

With the Romans, you just never know... :)

I have some Mexican pesos. Does that mean the US map needs to be redrawn? Apparently so.

After being defeated by Julius Caesar at the Battle of Mundus in 45 BC [I refuse to use BCE!], Gnaeus Pompeius and Sextus Pompeius fled to the new world, where they lost the Battle of Cody, Wyoming.

After that last defeat, they switched to the performing circuit for the remainder of their lives, mostly performing the comedies of Titus Plautus. Roman currency was thus circulated in that region.
