I don’t think the Roman’s or Greeks had B 17 bombers

Do you have a source on that?

Of course not: it makes sense that Bomber numbers were much lower in Ancient times. Also the Romans would've used roman numerals.

So Roman bombers would probably be B II, B III, maybe even B IV

maybe they were all shot down due to sampling bias? would have been B XVII .
