I know you said there are no instructions, but it seems like common cooking sense to put the olive oil on the lamb as well? As opposed to just on the laurel leaves? Would help with even heat transfer, add flavor, and help prevent the lamb from drying out, help the salt stick and penetrate into the meat? I could be wrong, but almost surely ancient cooks would have done that.

The recipe we used for the roast, taken from the 7th book of De Re Coquinaria, only calls for salt and honey. This is not surprising, since the author specifies that it is a simple roast, without any other ingredients. There is no olive oil in the recipe, and if the author wanted us to use it, he would have written it, since the list of ingredients is so short. In fact, it's typical of ancient Roman cuisine to use olive oil very sparingly, and some meat recipes don't use it at all. We used oil (and laurel leaves, which sometimes appear in ancient recipes with this function) only to prevent the meat from sticking to the pan.
Of course, you can prepare this recipe as you like: there is nothing strict and absolute in the preparation of the ancient recipes, but it is typical of De Re Coquinaria to roast meat only with salt.
