Yup:D, I'm right with you I feel the D&D team used Howard's Hyboria for a good deal of the various settings, they are excellent source materials of course. The area of Argos, Koth, Shem, Stygia is a good source for playing here I believe. And I agree the dark fantasy factor is much more inline with REH Hyborian realms than our, at least documented past...

All in all the Roman times were pretty horrific, even sans death magics.
