The Prince of Dorkness
Rome is unique in that you can go geographically VERY wide with them due to legion road building. I usually get iron working shortly after or shortly before education, around which time is a good time to road out to far expands.
Speaking of which, I have a quick Roman Legion tangent. I haven’t played Rome in a long time, but can you stack a Legion with a Worker to create roads faster like how you can stack multiple Workers in previous versions of Civ? I know I could just try it for myself, but I'm mentally theory crafting here at work to pass the time on a slow Friday afternoon.
