In this episode, we explore one of the most intriguing and controversial discoveries in the world of archaeology—the Tecaxic Calixtlahuaca Head. Found in Mexico, this ancient stone bust bears striking similarities to Roman portraiture, leading to a theory that suggests the Romans may have had contact with pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas. Could the Romans have ventured across the Atlantic centuries before Columbus? We examine the evidence surrounding this mysterious artifact, exploring the possibilities of ancient trans-oceanic contact and the broader implications of this discovery. Was it simply a case of Roman influence reaching far beyond Europe, or is there something more to the story?
