I myself had entertained an idea (If I was a multi-millionaire) of making an actual legionary fortress, and entertain summer camps of all kinds there, as well as a permanent, member based garrison equaling 1 or 2 centuries.<br>
A restaurant, spa/massage parlour would be open to the public, as well as all kinds of events to generate income.<br>
<br>
Creating an entire city would have an astronomical cost. The marketing cost alone to persuade the investors would have to be effective enough just to get the start up costs. They would have to see this place as a way to make their money back.<br>
<br>
If it was in Florida, I'd come for sure, and I think you are correct about making history fun. But it would have to be considered "fun" for all age groups and walks of life. Not sure how big of a draw you are going to get for such a place in the US.<br>

Sorry to be the devil's advocate...just some considerations to keep in mind. <p>Magnus/Matt<br>
