I can't find anything. The only articles I'm finding are about a Spanish Galleon that had $17bil in gold/silver that sunk off the coast of Colombia. I also find that claim incredibly suspicious as a Roman Galleon wouldn't be able to cross deep water oceans. Mediteranian sea, sure. Suez canal and Red Sea, if the thing had been built, but I'm pretty sure they just carried ships across land to the Red Sea/ Gulf of Suez

There was a book I read in my school's library when I was 8 or so on the Bermuda triangle that claimed (or at least implied?) that a roman ship was sunk there.

Though the book was for children and presumably completely unreliable, I have seen it written before, so maybe that's where they saw it too?
