Are there any good books for role playing in a Greek/Roman fantasy setting? Especially if it's for D&D (5th).
Pick the AD&D red (green?) book of the setting and go nuts.

(myself), only to add that the book if the Age of Heroes green book, for AD&D best edition.
Honorary mention: nWoD has this gem called "Requiem for Rome" for Vampire. If you can deal with playing Vampires, it's really good. It also contains an adaption of the nWoD combat system for Senate debates - including combat styles (logic, polemic, etc.)
GURPS probably did great source books for both (I'm not a huge GURPS user but their sourcebooks are usually on the well-researched side, only beaten by Cthulhu era books. You could use them for bg and shit, and fit it to 5e if you wanna use that.

Cthulhu Invictus and GURPS Imperial Rome

Mythras/RQ6 with Mythic Rome supplement is what you want, and Classic Fantasy supplement for that D&D feel.

Mazes and Minotaurs. Get it. Love it. Live it.

You don't even need to play vampires. You could skip the supernatural stuff and just play humans.
I wouldn't suggest a class system game
try Glorantha /Runequest stuff which have the antiquity theme all over them ooooooor you can try generic systems like Savage Worlds and FATE
(also I am so glad you didn't post a 300 image
Greek here :P )

Seconding Gurps
Really only need low tech

It's worth taking a look at in any case, I just meant if you're not gonna touch the whole WOD-Vampire-Werewolf-Mage-platter, there's sourcebooks you can take away much more from.

Just face it, OP. You will never be greek or roman. The sooner you accept this the better for your mental health

Seriously though: thanks for all the suggestions so far. I've Googled every single one of them. And even though there isn't and probably will never be a dedicated fantasy Rome book for 5e, the stuff you guys mentioned is going to help in adapting it.

That was my point, too, that and the fact that you can use the WW system without playing supernatural characters. Sorry it didn't come across.

This is the best option listed here. The rules have clunky bits but are extremely satisfying.
Fantasy Craft. The Adventure Companion has the Cloak & Dagger setting which is Roman based.
