another? as far as i know, there were no 23rd century civilizations on TV before 1966, but you probably know better.
re: the romulans-- found this wikipedia bit:
The Romulans were created by Paul Schneider, who said, "it was a matter of developing a good Romanesque set of admirable antagonists...an extension of the Roman civilization to the point of space travel."
what's so wrong with that? it's not like they fight with stupid light sabers...
