I think it would be cool to have Rome as a civilization, it could do so many things, especially since it takes place almost in the same era as the Greeks and invented or recreated new creatures based on Roman mythology.
He could run a campaign like the Romans are looking for Atlantis and then invade Atlantis with new heroes.
Example: A Roman general who listens to his superior’s orders until he realizes he’s being manipulated by a villain (Gargarensis, Cronus) out of revenge.
What do you think? If so, we would have to convince the developers.
ps: google translate I’m not good at English

Atlantians are based on Roman myth.

The issues with Rome are the massive overlap with the Greek pantheon, the human unit roster being partially represented with the Atlanteans, the mythological unit roster being mostly the same as the Greek one, and the fact that we already have two Mediterranean civs (three including the Atlanteans) and could really use some more variety.

If it was Age of Empires 4, it could be a civilization variant for the Greeks or Atlanteans. 
Seen from this angle you are right. It could overlap and be unpleasant. 
Considering this, the only logical reason why the Roman civilization could exist in AOMR would be because it would allow for reusing Atlantean units, Greek gods, and along with adding some new features (like a new architecture set) it would allow for the Romans to be included as a sort of variant civilization like in AOE4, which some people would probably like but others wouldn’t, and that would be the problem (if it was in AOE4 there would be no problem).
In a way, major gods are already civ variants in Age of Mythology
I don’t mind if they release the Romans one day. It would be cool, but… Later, when they’ve added at least two or three more original pantheons first (hopefully we’ll get that far).
