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)

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

This question has been asked on other internet pages. Someone in this page says there is no Roma, Australia.

From this page it looks like Roma, Queensland is an airport, not a city.
