Beach revealed that between the Great Wall of China, the Colosseum, the Forbidden City and the Pyramids, You have just seen two civilization-unique improvements and two World Wonders. But its not obvious whats what.
We know Great Wall is UI and Pyramids are the Wonder. Now from Colosseum and Forbidden City, 1 is UI and 1 is a Wonder. Since Forbidden City is unique and Colosseum isn't, the chances what the latter is UI are very high.
The only real options for Rome leaders are Julius Ceasar, Augustus Ceasar, or Tiberius Ceasar. Because are Tiberius (well halfway into his reign) Rome descends.

You forget the five good emperors. After Augustus: Trajan, Hadrian, or Marcus Aurelius are often ranked second. The character also almost exactly resembles Trajan and his uniform:
I know people were kind of joking but I actually think replacing the monument with Trajan's Column makes a ton of sense. (Assuming uniques replace things)

Sphinx was also seen in that shot. The two improvements we Sphinx and Great Wall, the two wonders were Pyramids and Colosseum.
That article is extrapolating based off the shot that Ed is talking about. It ignored the sphinx. Ed doesn't specify which of how many things you just saw were the 2 and 2, just that you saw them. I.e. Forbidden Palace doesn't actually have to be in the game based off of his comment. Just watch the video yourself. https://youtu.be/LXX5B33Dp9g?t=1m2s
To say nothing of the fact that we've already seen the collosseum wonder.
I didn't miss anything. He didn't say "everything you just saw was a wonder or an improvement". He said "you just saw two unique improvements and two wonders". Even if the previous shot contained 100 other wonders of the world that statement would still be true.
Since that trailer, we have confirmed 2 wonders and 2 unique improvements that were in that shot. The Sphinx, The Pyramids, The colosseum, and the great wall. We have not confirmed the forbidden city. Well, not until the Arts video, anyway.

It was the Sphinx, Great Wall, Forbidden City and Colosseum. The first two confirmed as UI, the latter two as wonders. We already saw the Colosseum in the map in a few videos, and in the E3 video it's visible on the build list as a wonder. We even already know the effects, if I remember correctly, because of a tooltip from same video.

Uh, no. We have seen the Colluseum as a Wonder already in the America First Look. Quill18 described the Great Wall as a China unique. The Sphynx is also a unique which has means the Forbidden Palace is the Wonder.

That part of the video was confusing, because there was actually 5 different infrastructures in the video: The Pyramids, Spinx, Forbidden palace, Colosseum and the Great Wall.
We already know that Spinx and the Great Wall are UI. We also know that the Pyramids and Colosseum are wonders. We dont know about Forbidden Palace, but if its in the game it will probably be wonder.

Have we actually seen Pyramids? I've always recalled Phynx, Colosseum, Forbidden Palace and Wall with the devs sayign "2 are Unique Improvements, 2 are World Wonders".

Ok so I actually haven't checked if someone else already said this because I'm very tired and because I wouldn't expect so, but apologies if it is mentioned already. I also realize it's a bit off-topic, but meh, it's a really fun fact and it IS about Rome and their leaders.
It's kinda off topic maybe. But please let me ask you, why you think Caesar would be out of place? Because he did not got the Emperor/King title? Rome was Republic, so he just became dictator perpetuus, which is actual very similar. Just wonder...
There's a very simple reason why Julius Caesar was never named either King, or Emperor. "King" (rex in Latin) had a negative sound to it, like tyran to us, so someone who took all power would never call himself king; that'd be political suicide of the highest level. "Emperor", on the other hand, does have a relation with Caesar, just like the "Kaisar" in German, the "Keizer" in Dutch or the "Czar" in Russia: Emperor is derived from "imperator", which was originally used for military commanders, like generals. Caesar, being among that group, used the title for himself, and it has become a standard title for Roman Emperors. All people that have been named "Emperor" or a variation of that, have actually been derived from Caesars title. The same for Kaiser/Keizer/Czar: In Latin, the C was always pronounced like the K (and look at the name: it should be in English too, we're just weird we don't do that) and the "ae" sound was pronounced "ai". Kaiser and the words similar to it are not derived from one of Caesar's titles, but from his own name.
So, while Caesar may never have been an official emperor (depending on your definition of that) he IS the man that named the two most common words that are used for the position. I would personally say that's a pretty good reason to include him anyways.
Caesar: Good possibility
August: Good possibility
Tiberius: Has a bad name, though some people believe he was better than the writers of the time made him out to be because he did not have a good relation for them. One way or another, he's not seen as a good emperor, and therefore an unlikely choice.
Caligula: No matter what way you turn it, he was just mad. A really unlikely choice.
Claudius: Is generally seen as a good emperor, but has little fame in modern times and is also not seen as outstanding.
Nero: Considered nearly as mad as Caligula by most, though for him too, some believe he's been portrayed worse than he actually was.
And that's the Julian emperors already. There's two, maybe three possible leaders from their line. Meanwhile, Trajan, Vespasianus (forgive me for sometimes using Latin names and sometimes not; I'm used to the Latin names, and in English I don't always know how the names are shortened, if they are), Titus, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius, all from the century after the Julian dynasty, are considered good emperors, and I might have forgotten one or two.
TBH, it would be refreshing. Julius wasn't an emperor, and they can't just have Augustus every civ game. Combine this image with the leaked bust of Trajan on the leader list and it's almost guaranteed to be Trajan of Rome. The similarities with known artwork of Trajan are staggering.
