The preponderance of evidence, taken as a whole, makes it more likely than not that ancient Romans visited the southeast coast of Texas during the 4th century A.D. Evidence consists of the wreck of a Roman cargo ship, unearthed at Galveston, the remnants of an ancient bridge at Pelican Island, Texas, Roman coins found near the site, and similarities between the Karankawan Indian language and Latin offer positive evidence-see HERA magazine, No. 888, (May, 2007).
