I caught this article on the uncovering of a Roman Sword in Nova Scotia and it's associated shipwreck. I and am posting the link even though I have reservations. I have seen type of article before. If it had just come out, and not been associated with 3 year old "reality TV" show, then maybe. But the sword has been handled for generations so who knows where it was picked up. That and the line of "We would prove it, but THEY won't let us!"

Any other opinions?

I totally missed the fact that the sword was bronze. The Romans would have been iron except for ornamental purposes.
