I agree with what you say about the romans, but *why limit to the romans*
when there are lots of people from the Classic Ages? Think Greeks,
Phoenicians, Chartaginians, Gauls, Germans, Britons,... it would be a
never-ending theme, every year LEGO could issue a new sub-theme!
And since we're at it, why limit to Europe/Mediterranean? I mean, why not a
theme about the oldest civilization on Earth, China? Wouldn't it be a
fantastic theme, if nothing else for the colours we'd get to see?

I'm thinking Cordoba's Mosque in LEGO... hmmm... :-)

Yup.
I think TLC has only the embarassment of choosing from so many great
possible themes. I'm sure any of them would be met with success, if some
fair degree of
detail were used.
Just my two €cents,
