Which part of the Roman Empire? The Hellenistic portion, or
Gaul/Scandia/Britannia? I'd love to see the theme move about from Greece to
Egypt to the Levant--although, you know, the Punic Wars would be great too.
Did Rome really have an organized foe after that? I think Hannibal would be a
lot of fun, and it would give us Lego elephants!

I remember this year's German Train Hoax, mostly because those were such
gorgeous locomotives...now, trains like *those* I'd buy (and cannibalise,
because all themes are just spare parts for Space [1,2]).

[2] Even if there isn't really a Space theme around at present.
