Is it true that there is a city called Rome on every continent and if yes then where are they exactly located on every continent?

The only continent that I could find any place called Rome, outside of Europe, is North America. There are 13 cities in the United States and 4 townships with the name Rome in them. The Romes, in specific, are in: Georgia Illinois Indiana (which boast Rome and Rome City) Iowa Maine Maryland Michigan (Rome Township) Minnesota (Rome Township) New York Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania (one city of Rome and two Rome Townships--one township in Bradford County with the city of the same name, and one township in Crawford County, on the opposite side of the state) Wisconsin (two cities called Rome, one in Adams County, the other in Jefferson County) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_(disambiguation) Jan 04 09, 9:55 AM

The original Rome in Italy is properly spelled "Roma," so-- Roma, Indonesia http://www.geonames.org/6403948/roma.html Roma, Lesotho (Africa) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma,_Lesotho Roma, Queensland (Australia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma,_Queensland La Roma and Pto. Roma, Ecuador (South America) http://www.fallingrain.com/world/EC/10/La_Roma.html http://www.geonames.org/3652745/puerto-de-roma.html Let's add Roma, Texas, USA, putting a "Roma" on each of the six inhabited continents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma,_Texas Jan 04 09, 12:25 PM

If you are talking about the Italian spelling of Roma (Roma), I found these cities. So, there should be one in each continent. # Roma, Queensland, a town in Australia # Puerto Roma, Ecuador, a town in Ecuador # Roma, Botoşani, a town in Romania # Roma, Sweden, a town in Sweden # Roma, Texas, a town in the United States # Roma, Lesotho, a town where the National University of Lesotho is situated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma This question has been asked on other internet pages. Someone in this page says there is no Roma, Australia. http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=47;t=000452;p=0 From this page it looks like Roma, Queensland is an airport, not a city. http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/94515.html Jan 04 09, 3:04 PM

wajo	No, Roma isn't just an airport. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma,_Queensland Jan 04 09, 3:34 PM

According to what I'm reading here, there are no other continent outside of North America and Europe that one would find a place under the Anglicized name of Rome. Is that correct? Jan 04 09, 7:35 PM
