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.

Out of curiosity, since I've been reading his work for a while, is the Cinder Spires series any good?
I love it.
