No, can't say I've ever heard of it. I've heard of Roman-themed games like Age of Empires, and Sid Meier's Civilization series has always featured Rome as one of the civ choices players have had.
I haven’t heard of it before and I think that I would not like it since I never like playing SIMs. I don’t like playing those boring games; I don’t even understand why some people are liking it.
