If you want to express "I go to Rome", you have to use it as a verb; therefore you should say "I have gone to Rome" but not "I was gone to Rome".

Just a little bit more information for you: If you want to express the fact that you have visited Rome, you should say "I have been to Rome" instead.

EDIT: I just noticed that the title of this thread is "I was gone/I has gone". "I has gone" is incorrect; it should be "I have gone". "Has" is used for third person singular (he has / she has/ it has).
