Thinking they were still traveling north, they sailed west to Canada. They believed that they had landed upon a resurrected Atlantis, but were afraid to stay lest it sink again.The Romans immediately attempted to resupply the ship, but did not recognize the indigenous foliage. During the delay, Native Americans found and destroyed their ship. The Romans were stuck. They decided to found a colony, hoping eventually Rome would find them. Luckily, the ship's cargo had been wives, daughters, and female slaves of noblemen newly arrived from Rome to act as officials, so they were able to reproduce.
