Love it! Nice busy town feel. I like the atrium with fishpond! Surprised you don't use any Nativity figures, they are the go-to for Roman civilians.

I like the lighthouse- in fact all the buildings, with their red pantile roofs! Good range of Roman activities going on too, soldiers on parade, cooking, gladiating, sailors, visiting Gods, ponging fish- great!

Great diorama. I agree that's a clever creation for the fish pond. One suggestion I would make is to swap out the red system x connectors on the clear blue for the white connectors. That always bugged me about the older sets and I was thrilled when the white connectors arrived.
The use of the forge as a wall fountain is really clever too.
