If you're implying that should be used as evidence supporting romans having explored north america, that's really a stretch. Looking at a map, the canary islands are close to the roman empire's territory and the romans could have been there for plenty of reasons besides going to north america. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Islas_Canarias_(real_location)_in_Spain.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Islas_Canarias_(real_loca... and https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Roman_Empire_Trajan_117AD.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Roman_Em...
