I mean, there's not a lot you can do to vary a meatloaf, is there? The basics are still going to be there.

 

Seems to me that's akin to saying "there's not a lot you can do to vary roasted meat, etc."
To which I disagree. 
As to the meatloaf: meat and loaf are certainly essential, but ingredients and preparation method can vary greatly.

Surprisingly not. The 5th century Roman Apicius recipe is almost identical to modern American recipes.

 

To which Apicius recipe do you refer?

A quick search doesn't turn up anything that would commonly be thought of as meatloaf in this day and age.
