Does anyone know a good game that includes a Roman Army?

Just about any ancients ruleset has romans in it:
War and Conquest
Hail Caesar
Warhammer Ancients (1.5 or 2.0 - OOP, but you can find the older stuff on ebay, etc.)
Clash of Empires
DBx/DBM/DBMM, etc
Field of Glory
Off the top of my head. There are lots of historicals rulesets. The trick is to find one that other people in your area play (or that you like, and can rope other people to play).

As Cruentus said, Romans are one of the most important and popular armies in Ancients and are catered for in any rule-set that isn't specifically about something else. (For example, a set about Samurai warfare won't cover Romans.)
The Roman Army is available in a number of different versions from different eras of Roman history:
You can usually play any Ancient/Mediaeval army against any other one without it being seriously unbalanced.

Hail Caesar is what caught my eye, the starter set for it comes with a nice starting army or two! If only I had the time to build and paint them!

Good list, but there is also:
Polemics(sp)
Impetus
Warmaster Ancients
I feel like there is at least one more I am missing that is pretty major, somethign similar to WAB, CoE, and FOG?
OP- What scale of Romans do you want to use? 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 28mm, 54mm, etc.

This sums it all up really, In my experience Warlord is the best thing really. But all those mentioned in the qoute above is good and worth a look.
