I need your help.

There was a TV ad aired in the late 1990s the imagery of which I never forgot, but not what the ad was for.

It showed what things might look like if Rome had never fallen. There were automobiles, and skyscrapers, but some elements, including the High Official's garb, were glaringly Roman.

I’m fairly certain that it was aired before 2000’s "Gladiator" because, had the ad been contemporary to rhe movie, I’d have simply shrugged it off as trying to cash in on something else. Yes, there was Julie Taymor’s 1999 movie ”Titus”, but I discovered it after "Gladiator".

Does this sound familiar?

Today was the first time this year when I didn't have to wear a sweatshirt or coat to keep warm while waiting for the bus to go back home.
