Someone recently suggested TLG do a Roman theme.  If they
do,  they'd better watch out,  because the barbarians are definitely ready for
primetime before there are even gates for them to be outside of.

I would love a Roman theme...heck I figured Lego would have done it in the
80's...all the elements were there for great chariots, aquaducts, and other
Romanesque buildings.

I have a makshift roman army that I began after seeing Gladiator. The figs
have th black "dragon" helm (tho the silver ones wloud work much much
better),  the chain mail black monarchs torso.  and the commanders have the
ninja armor.  they are equipted with a broad sword or spear and a large
dagon shield (tho if the gungan sheild came in d. grey they would have that)
If you look at them from the front they look rather roman . . .of course in
profile they don't (TLC could start with the dragon helm and make a good
roman helm design)


I would love a roman theme but I doubt it would havemass appeal.
