From what I understand, the game was originally designed around a Roman theme, but was diverted to Dune before publication. This is just hearsay, so I could be totally wrong, however.

Not hearsay, Peter Olotka, one of the designers, said as much during an interview on the "My Metal Dog" podcast a few years ago.

That "Roman empire theme" is basically a calling-card for people who bought Rex instead of Dune and are trying to find excuses. As I understand it, it's basically the combat that came from the Roman game, one which never saw development beyond "Hey we have this game we're working on." The faction powers were all created for the Dune theme specifically, as was the map.
*edit* To be clear, this is just how I've always understood it to be, not something I've heard directly from Olotka. It's not like there's some proto-Dune that made it past the design stages.
But if we must retheme the game, then the Crusades isn't a bad direction.
