At least the "medieval warm period" which gets cited a lot, was a regional phenomenon and global temperatures are higher today. The Wikipedia page seems to suggest the same for the Roman warm period.

The Roman warm period was about 2 degrees F warmer than today when you're measuring global average temperatures, not just in europe, although it was more pronounced in europe. At current rates though, we'll break that bar in 40 years or so though
