I prefer what Doom mentioned, with the pantheon.

Within that world, she was God. But here, outside of it, her name was Yoake o-Shiri. That was unimportant. She was a Godslayer. That too was unimportant. But what was important, was that she had a motherfucking boat.
And by God, was she going to use it.

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.

-Edit
I like the idea of low realism with a living pantheon for an answer to “why gladiator fights”, as we could perhaps have the gladiator fights be sacrifices to the distant but real gods of the pantheon, who then bless the nation with divine aid of some sort. That would give some real meaning and importance to the fights (though sending men and animals to the death for just prestige and money was often enough.) 

And it works with traditional Roman expansion as well, with the gods giving military aid, Rome conquers and loots, the gods give more marital blessings, Rome conquers and loots more to satisfy their ever hungrier gods... in what is sure to be a stable cycle with no consequences whatsoever.

But yeah, I think Low Realism would be interesting and not too crazy; and go Spartacus!

An attempted compromise between the two options, because I'm happy to be part of a Human empire that brutally subjugated foreign, non-human barbarians.

Very Low Fantasy
The founding myth of Rome states that wolf-raised twin brothers and demigods Remus and Romulus founded the city. Romulus killed Remus upon the city's establishment in order to name it for himself. Rome went on to conquer local Human kingdoms and foreign Fantastic tribes. [Potential Races limited to Ancient Era Humanity plus Fantastic Barbarian tribes, Mythological Beasts Allowed (though mostly unintelligent), Magic is Divine/Druidic, very rare, and very powerful. Reminiscent of a Tolkien-esque world]
