Commodus Britannicus

There is still a prevailing opinion that Madoc 1170AD is the source of the Welsh Indians "Legend", although there is a slow swing towards Madoc 574AD

My goals with respect to Madoc 574AD, is to gather evidence that puts him/them in the Southern States in the 6th century, I do not believe that 70,000 Welsh emigrated to North America in 574, and had no further contact with the homeland. So I have been looking for clues.

I have been watching the excavation of Pompeii, the most well known of the 4 cities buried in October 79AD. The other three are Herculaneum, Stabiae and Oplontis  The Emperor at the time was Titus Sabinus Vespanius who helped the survivors by providing land, food and other vital supplies. What has this to do with America? Pompeii is a perfect time capsule, and benchmark. A benchmark in that it freezes in time, objects that can be easily identified. Corn (maize), and recently pineapples, both exclusively American.

So we have another History Paradox.
Ananas comosus is the botanical name of the fruit we know as the pineapple. Native to South America, it was named for its resemblance to a pine cone. Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering the pineapple on the island of Guadeloupe in 1493, although the fruit had long been grown in South America. He called it piña de Indes, meaning "pine of the Indians." The South American Guarani Indians called it nanã, meaning "excellent fruit," and cultivated them for food. The term pineapple (or pinappel in Middle English) did not appear in English print until around 1664.  My irritation level rises whenever I see a reference to Cristobel Colombo. He took so much credit where it was not justified.

So, we now know that the Romans, prior to October, 79AD were trading Pineapples with South America. Roman coins found in Argentina, for example, are now proof, not necessarily of Roman presence, but contact with Italy; Coins being possible payment for pineapples.  This is what Hidden History is all about. Using the clues in a rational examination of what could have been, and dismissing the false narrative.

So in Alabama, along the Coosa River, we have Welsh speaking "Indians" with Romano-British coins, in the 6th century. At this point, that is all we can say, with any degree of confidence. You can see another coin in the map of the area. I am trying to locate the museum that holds these coins. "Roman" coins are found in many places, without Roman archaeology. We have to do these diligent checks. Proving a Welsh presence anywhere, includes disproving a Roman presence, or anyone else.
