Especially machine gun carrying Romans

I don't think there's anything wrong with that!

When I served under Cpt. Biggus Dickus I was lucky enough to be one of the machine gunners, unlike the poor sods that had to make do with swords.
- Different franchise, but work with me.
Is that supposed to be a Roman soldier holding a submachine gun?
- Yes. It's from the episode:

I'm guessing the average Trekkie isn't as fascinated by archaeology than I am, so I can't say.
I never think about the Roman Empire; why would I waste my time thinking about second-rate Ancient Greece?
- Second-rate Ancient Greece conquered most of Europe and all the land that surrounded the Mediterranean, which seems like more than what first-rate Ancient Greece accomplished.
  
  Only if you decide to rank accomplishment solely based on footprint.
  
  I'd argue there is vastly more to heritage and history than simply "but how much land did they conquer?"
- Vale, trebuchets fired!
