Romans in the Americas? I'd like to hear more about it. Do you have any links on that?

I was basing my statement on reading many times over the years how Indians had Roman coins in their possession, but a bit of googling found this among other things.

Vikings plundered monasteries with Roman coins plus Romans were pretty pathetic at the sea

I find it hard to believe that an entire continent can exist for so long without anyone finding it. Aboriginals made it to Hawaii with nothing but some really big canoes, so there's no way Columbus was the absolute first to America.
