The researchers are basing their claims on a number of Roman discoveries in Oak Island...
As well as the stone, they found carved stones on Oak Island also 'possess a language from the ancient Levant' according to Pulitzer.
Other findings include a Roman legionnaire's whistle found on Oak Island in 1901, a Roman shield 'boss' and a small Roman head sculpture found in Mexico City in 1933.
Another clue, in his report, is the presence of an invasive species of plant which was once used by Romans...
'The ceremonial sword came out of that shipwreck,' he told The Boston Standard. 'It is one incredible Roman artefact.'
He bases this on studies of his the artefacts metallic properties which match those of other ancient Roman artefacts.
'It has the same arsenic and lead signature in it. We've been able to test this sword against another one like it and it matches,' he said.
Pulitzer's report also details a number of Mi'kmaq carved images by indigenous people drawn on cave walls in Nova Scotia.
Some of these images show what Pulitzer believes to be Roman legionnaires.

Heh... a HUGE favorite in my teen years, truly my own age undreamed of. The movies were absolutely execrable though.
I call Roman "steel" an alloy of iron and carbon, which is the definition of steel.
BTW, in the 1960s, after the Restall tragedy (overcome by gas, three died in an excavated pit), Robert Dunfield moved a significant fraction of the entire mass of the island, built a cofferdam over the supposed openings for the water channels, and connected the island with the mainland (still exists and in fine shape). The pit he dug at the "Money Pit" site was 148 feet deep and 100 feet wide. Bupkis. Wood has been brought up from depth via drilling and coring, but AFAIK, none of it has been RC dated -- I suspect MOST such wood is natural, and antedates the last Ice Age; the rest is stuff left behind by treasure seeking tunnels, or dumped into the former Dunfield pit as fill.
Yeah, but now I know the Riddle of Steel. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

That's nice but they didn't have that technology. But by all means post some references to that. Every historian I know of considers Rome an iron age empire ( the republic was more bronze age ) but maybe you know better than ALL OF THEM.
“wootz steel”
The way I understand it the the iron ages low carbon content weapons were NOT superior to bronze age weapons. It is just iron was more plentiful an ALMOST as good as bronze. Bronze was expensive, still is. Now OTH high carbon steel is way better the bronze.
interesting
LOL!
