[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 99108, member: 57463"][b]Been there[/b] When that coin was struck, the Rio Grande was navigatable all the way to modern Albuquerque and beyond. When I lived there, a woman with a home on the Rio Grande brought a Roman coin to the local club meeting. The president was a high school history teacher and he told her that some pioneer probably dropped it. After that, I could not get her attention. She had an expert answer and her eyes were blank when she looked at me. It is a fact that the statistical distribution is not random. More are found on the East Coast than on the West. As far as I am concerned, we cannot simply explain away all the Roman coins. Read Kon-Tiki. Read about Kennewick Man. Roman coins in the Americas were old news in their own time.[/QUOTE]
