I kind of rather wait for the turn to pass before I join.
Ok. No problem there. If I won't like Rome I'll start my own civilization - I don't like playing historical ones anyway...If you pick Rome, you can get the free tech. However, the other NPCs already have gotten a free tech, so you will be stuck with it. Also, Rome is the only NPC without a Land UU.
There are a couple of non-historical civs around. The Guanches are quite good, right now they have one of the most original UUs in-game, based in the language invented by RL Guanches (which still exists: find La Gomera in wikipedia).
