Berry Fell, in one of his books, mentions that the Venitii, in Gaul, had a fur tradde that died after the Roman conquest. He speculated that they were doing their trapping in the New World, because as Ceasar mentioned, they had ships designed for the Atlantic.

Thanks! Hadn't seen that one before. I see in my archives I did save a copy of this one you posted a few months ago:
Romans In Brazil During The Second Third Century?
I also saw something on Roman coins found off South America in an underwater archaeology book I read a while back, which may or may not be related to what's discussed in that article. Unfortunately I can't remember the title, but it was something like The Atlas of Underwater Archaeology, I believe.
