Well, this comic discusses a possible Roman campaign setting. Of course, that setting leaves out most of Roman history by focusing on the cult of Christianity. The Slashdot thread agrees with you that our D&D would be the Roman's equivalent of D20 modern, or even Shadowrun. The Romans did have dungeons and believe in dragons (or at least ghosts, werewolves, and witches) and magic; the real novelty would be the newer weapons.
For some reason, a post on that thread thinks that a certain ancient person was put up on the cross because he "failed his saving throw" and then was resurrected by the GM for "plot reasons". :D
