You know, in-universe, I think they're the same (third) Romana. I really do. In my head, reading the opening to The Shadows of Avalon, I hear Juliet Landau's mostly-English accent.

But I don't think that we should treat them as the same unless (very unlikely) they are explicitly treated as the same character in and out of universe.

That being said, I'd say either a single [b]Romana[/b] page or four separate Romana pages - [b]Romana I / Romana II / Romana (Shadows of Avalon) / Romana (Renaissance)[/b] - neither is explicitly called the Third Romana even if both are heavily implied to be, so I think "Romana III" is right out at this point - in fact, for a while I was labouring under the assumption that Trey came later. She says that Romana spent "several lifetimes" rebuilding Gallifrey, after all.

Ultimately, I don't think it's clear enough to state as fact. We can go nuts in the Behind the Scenes sections - so should we.

[b]Personally, my vote would be for four Romana pages, with only Tamm and Ward receiving the Roman numeral treatment.[/b] I say this because it seems cleaner and it's less of a massive undertaking. Failing that, a single Romana page seems like a good second choice to me.
