With the Romans, you just never know... :)
My imperial throne flushes when you get up.
Conversely, the Mexicans have a lot more dollars than we have pesos so maybe the border needs to be redrawn to include all of what we captured back in 1847.
In the 1930s a fishing boat pulled up a Roman pottery jug from the Porcupine bank about 110 miles west of Ireland.
From a wreck or from being lost overboard or maybe less likely sealed
and floated out there, it shows that the Romans and their culture were
really widespread.
We need to make Mexico Spain’s again!
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?
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.
Better than nuoc mam. OK whatever the Swedish/Finnish thing is that they bury and let rothe for a time before eating.
Icelandic Hakarl?

I spent a delightful week on a dairy farm close by Totnes. No signs of a Roman Road, but the oldest part of the farmhouse was 14th Century and the local roads followed the medieval field boundaries with the hedges about 500-600 years old (estimate). Beautiful countryside.
