Space Romans, Space Vikings, Space Barbarians, Space Persians, No Space Hittites though that's too crazy

Also Space Mongols (white scars). If you really squint, you might even have some Space Dacians as well.

Something else that also has space Romans is Ultima by Stephen Baxter. Much of it takes place in an alternate timeline where the Roman empire still exists in the 2220s.
