I'm running Rome smoothly at 1600X1200, and I've got 2002's hot card, the Radeon 9700 pro. Currently selling for $158 on pricewatch. That's none too shabby for a two-year-old card and a brand-new game.
I read that Nvidia's got a ~$100 card coming in a week or so that's nothing short of phenomenal. But I doubt if you're willing to wait a week, eh? Too much conquering and bloodletting lost if you putter about.
Good luck! Remember, tell your significant other that you need the computer parts for, uh, work, yeah, that's what it's for, really, honey ...
