The ancient Romans likely never landed in America, but, based on their seamanship and knowledge about long voyages, could they have reached it if they tried to?

While we wait for an answer (which I think is possible given the vast experience and talent the Romans could have summoned for such a trip) take a look at some Roman ships (especially, in my opinion, the Corbita or Ponto) https://www.naval-encyclopedia.com/goodies-naval-encyclopedia/antique-ships/roman-ships/. Also see: https://www2.rgzm.de/navis/Themes/Commercio/CommerceEnglish.htm in which a broader approach to the Roman merchant navy is discussed.
