TBH, the question might have mentioned a "comedy series" rather than a "sit-com".
It wasn't that part of the question which bemused me.

"Ancient Rome" is often taken to refer the entire country, also referred
to as the Patria - the place where their ancestors were born. And so as to
distinguish it from the Empire. Rather than to just the city itself.
Also "Which TV sit-come was set in Pompeii and featured the slave Lurkio?"
would have rather given the game away.
