Practically nothing from Roman Sources except for Diodorus Siculus. I am a fan of his, though. Here is a list of "Roman Sources":

************
Myrina Tale --Diodorus Siculus Book 3
Diodorus Book 4

"Atlanteuses the sons might be not, where are remembered the dreams not to be seen, which from where happens with the most knowing of the things we relinquish. " -- Meaningless Quote from Amianus Book 15

"And now under eastern doubtful with Atlantidas the field is white the fires and moved wild from the sheepfolds the bears safe and the houses petition, rare and the shore into the deep sends the birds, with the chief horses panting Phoebus [Athon] has raised and has scattered into the waves middle the day." -- Meaningless quote from Flacus Argonautina Book 2

"You is permitted you may observe the all sky with Atlanta bearing, and the cut Persea Phorciduses with the shore with the hand, with Geryonas the stalls and in the dust of the wrestling the indications of Hercules and Antaeus, and Hesperidus the choruses;"--Propertius Book 3

"and in the Gorgias, that of Æacus and Rhadamanthus; and in the Phædo, that of Tartarus; and in the Protagoras, that of Prometheus and Epimetheus; and besides these, that of the war between the Atlantini and the Athenians in the Atlanticum) are to be expounded allegorically, not absolutely in all their expressions, but in those which express the general sense." -- Stromata 6.4.5.9

"We read of the islands of Hiera, and Anaphe, and Delos, and Rhodes, and Cos, with many thousands of human beings, having been swallowed up. Plato informs us that a region larger than Asia or Africa was seized by the Atlantic Ocean. An earthquake, too, drank up the Corinthian sea; and the force of the waves cut off a part of Lucania, whence it obtained the name of Sicily. These things surely could not have taken place without the inhabitants suffering by them." -- Tertulian Apology

"But if of wheat into the harvest and the oaken grains you will exercise the ground and of the sun you will pursue with the awns, before to the eastern you Atlantids may be hidden and Cnosia of the burning may withdraw with the star Coronas, the debts as with the furrows you may entrust you plant! each reluctant you may hurry the hope of the year to believe to the land. " -- Vergil Georgicon

Solinus Book 31
"Neither truly [Atlans] to support the sky nor the joined to Prometheus with Caucasus nor the starry Cepheus with the wife to the son in law with the daughter might be delivered, unless the divine examination of the divinities had brought across the name of them towards the error to the story. " -- Cicero Tuscan Disputations Book 5
