Roman empire or Christopher Columbus?

A shocking discovery has been made about year ago on Oak Island, on the south of Canada. A group of scientists found items, that might have once belonged to Romans. A sword, coins, a whistle, part of a shield and head sculpture are objects,that question our knowledge about history and Roman empire. Findings listed above laid in shipwreck, near the coast for some time and historians believe they are evidence, that Romans crossed Atlantic Ocean before Christopher Columbus.

Researches were led by Jovan Hutton Pulitzer. "I began my forensic work into it using XRF analyser, which is leading archaeological tool for analysing metals", said Pulitzer. He compared sword found in shipwreck to verified Roman sword. It has the same arsenic and lead signature in it. "We've been able to test this sword against another one like it and it matches", he claimed. Jovan and his crew are sure, that the sword and other findings are Roman.
