Harry Potter, Ace Attorney! makes me think of several.
Latin has a little power today as a prestige language partly because of the Romans, the Toga wearing race, the Masters of the World, speaking it and using it to change the world around them.
1) Since the '50s or '60s, the per capita lawyer rate in America has supposedly increased by three times, and this may have had some effect on American society. So, we've secretly replaced 2/3s of America's lawyers with Romans, let's see if anyone notices. (Note that making the replacements Roman lawyers drives the scenario hard into problem land.)
2) We've secretly replaced the Wizarding Legal System with a version of the Roman Legal system, let's see if anyone notices... (I'll note that Rowling's philosophies in these matters do not seem to have much agreement with those of the Romans. Suppose Cicero was around during the first Riddle conflict, survived, and was not a Deatheater...) (I don't think this results in the Deatheaters being crucified along some major English highway. I expect some other capital punishment.)
3) Harry Potter and the Romans. 'We've secretly replaced the spells with Latin words more suited to a soldier and a hero, by Roman standards. Let's see if anyone notices.' 'Neco te' 'Do you mean cat or catgirl tea?' 'No, I've forgotten part of the Latin for that line in Dunham's Achmed Routine.'
4) There are other such groups, like Catholic priests. Anybody want to try a crossover substituting Catholic priests for Lawyers?
5) I learned to say Cicero with hard k sounds, and it is a reference to a vegetable. Cicero should be a Saiyajin. (Note that for screwy enough world building, I once worked out that half or quarter Saiyajin would not require too many historical changes.)
Lastly, I am reminded of a untapped potential left in Buffy Halloween fics. However, that is something that really must be.
