Roman inspiration

Hi all!

My campaign is set in a "Roman Fantasy" background. There are plenty of
sources about historical Rome, out there, but I was wondering: does anyone
know an existing game setting of this type, on the net? You know, for
sharing ideas and stuff...

Thanx!

Sort of.  The HarnWorld setting includes a nation called the Thardic
Republic which is pseudo-Roman.  A particularly good web resource for things
Thardic can be found at:

Just fill off the serial numbers and replace them with SPQR.

Roman inspiration

I Believe that the Talados supliment for TSR's Dragon Lance has a country
called Thiatis based on Rome but w/Minotaurs ruling.
I was warned about some of the modules. After hyping it as set in Thiatis
the used terms like Baron, Knights and Dukes instead of Senators,
Centurions, Emperor, etc.

[DRS] I have enjoyed reading the files at Imperium Romanum.

It may be based more in the real world than what you're looking
for, but they seem to do a good job of it.

Roman inspiration

I Just remembered a classic take on the Romans.
Star Trek's Romulans were based on the Romans.
