I just realized ... if we're going to attack Antium, we'll almost certainly get our first Great General, which we can then attach to a chariot. Which means that essentially guarantees us a Heroic Epic!
(in MIT, I presume?) So we should bring our "Heroic Epic Unit" chariot back to the war front. It will take him about 8 to 9 turns, though. 
EDIT: Ugh! I forgot to check the gold screen after ending turn ... was curious to see how much gold Rome is losing a turn. Oh well, we'll find out once we play but I'm worried that a captured city will distort our perception.
