well the Victorians were definitely moon-eyed over the Romans.

And Arthurian mythos is full to overflowing with nostalgia for Roman times. 

But, I don't know that it was continuous from whenever the Arthurian myths were developed until the Victorians. Also, I don't know how much of Romanophilia in Arthurian myth is due to backporting from Victorians, but at least some of it is from Chaucer, who was long before Victorians.
