Actually, the Burning of Londinium was done in the (early '90s?) and 
several photos submitted to the now-defunct Known World Confectioners' 
Guild.  I have the photos - lots of buildings with colonnades, many 
people lying on the ground, some chariots, Roman graffiti on the 
buildings, and a portion of the roof of one of the buildings set on 
fire!  Quite a work of marzipan and sugar!
