Speaking of Romans in a fantasy word did you read Jim Butcher's Codex Alera books? If you did ignore the rest, but if you didn't I'll summarize. The fabled lost Ninth Roman legion gets teleported to a fantasy word where there are elemental creatures that they can bond with and gain powers.
Butcher wrote it because someone dared him to write a story that combined the 9th legion with Pokémon.
I love it.
The first bit of the second book is a bit slow, but I blame it on him writing them years apart.
But his aerial battles are really great and I actually like his teenage characters. It also has talking cats, steampunk shit, all kinds of good stuff. It's good fun.
Personally, I'd say it's the least good of his works, but still enjoyable. His other two big series are better, and Cinder Spires is a bit too trope-y, without the humor to make up for it, but still a fun read. It's no Dresden Files, and it's no Codex Alera, but if you've already read those, give it a shot.

That sounds like the Visionaries cartoon from the 80s.
I don't remember that one, I have something to google now
Out of curiosity, since I've been reading his work for a while, is the Cinder Spires series any good?
I love it.

I've only read the first book and it was good
