The Eternal City fits your criterion decently.
Completely original Roman-themed fantasy, nothing resembling 'dwarves or elves'. No commonly available magic. Rp from political intrigue all the way down to the filthiest of scumbags.
No traditional class/level system, many of the more important and powerful characters have very limited 'mechanical' skills.
Systems in place to prevent exessive 'twinking' and make training and character improvement a gradual advancement.
Newbie experiences are varied, however. My experience has been that you get back as much as you''re willing to put out.
Might not be for you, but at least worth a look.
