I'd agree with that.

Not that that ever stops anyone else...

I think the point is that the "regimental" model under consideration was never even concieved as applying to the Orlanthi. It was mainly concerned with the Lunars, and other comparatively "civilised" cultures.

Romnas = Lunars, maybe, a bit, after a fashion. Enough that we can consider borrowing ideas. I don't thnk anyone's ever suggested that the Orlanthi bear much resemblance to the Romans.
