Poul and Karen Anderson use a variation of this idea in their series of books THE KING OF YS; I have all four volumes, but keep losing one or the other somehow. This is a historical fantasy series set in the waning days of the Western Roman Empire; Ys is a city originally founded by the Carthaginians in Brittany. It involves Celtic, Phoenician, Mithraic, Christian, and Norse folklore and mythology, as well as magic. Quite a damned good read, though the series is out of print; you may have to hunt for it.
