It is possible. The ships were more than capable of making it across the big pond. But Rome had no dearth of contemporary historians and none really talked about lands to the west across the great sea.

They were also in Copenhagen, and Ireland, and there's no surviving record of that, which isn't a surprise, considering the fragmentary nature and sheer age of the material.
