There are pokémon based on the Nazca lines.
There are pokémon based on medieval warriors.
There are pokémon based on native americans.
There are pokémon based on fucking Brazilian slaves.
But there are no fucking pokémon based on Egypt or the Roman Empire.
Pic unrelated, I'm mad.

Rome would have been nothing more than a shitty hamlet if it wasn't for all the civilizational potential that it kept swallowing for centuries.

Besides, some vibes of Roman antiquity are -allegedly- present within a portion of Gallade's design.

Don't want to play the Devil's advocate, but OP could have been the Romans being "the beggining of civilization" as in "western civilization". Which is not entirely incorrect.

Quoted By:

>Origin
The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by Murmillo-class Roman gladiators or the Corinthian helmet (with a horsehair crest) that was worn by Greek hoplites. It may also be based on medieval knights. Additionally, its battle stances (depicted in-game and in artwork) resemble the en garde position and parries of modern fencing.

Here you go OP, if going for an ancient civilization team, get:
Gallade (rome)
Cofagrigus (Egypt)
Xatu ('Murica)
Sigilyph (Latin america)
