Yup - What Magnus said. It's just as popular here in the States. It's a rather obscure period, and Ancient period in general in the U.S. is always going to get passed over for what constitutes as more "relevant" or immediate history. While a good number of members in Leg III Cyr. have come in from Civil War and WW2, a number of those members are still active in those periods - and the "reenacting season" is painfully short and everything falls on the same weekends. This is also the big year for the Civil War and 1812, I admit I too focused on Civil War last year being the 150th both of the start and of the unit I'm with. So the Roman period is going to go through it's growth and crawl stages. Just like everything else.

It, dare I say, doesn't have the "bang for the buck" as does periods with firearms. Things that go BOOM get more attention than things that are Shiny.
