I don't know if anyone has seen this, but I thought it particularly relevant here. It's Warlords of Alexander (http://romequest.fronteriza.es/Warlords.pdf), a Hellenistic setting for Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying system. It's set in 276BC somewhere in the Diadochi kingdoms, with characters being the usual mob of rootless trouble-makers.
Not sure if anyone is into pencil and paper roleplaying, but if you are this could be useful even just as a sourcebook for your preferred system.

Interesting, I'll give it a proper look through sometime soon.
I'm planning a game using the Houses of the Blooded system set in the Roman Senate which some people on here have helped me get info for.

WoA might be a little less useful for a Rome-centric game, it's mostly about the Diadochi (and really the big three even then).

There is an RPG by the same guy called 'Zenobia'.
But regardless I am using Houses of the Blooded

I'm aware of both games. Doesn't HotB use a variant of FATE?

Talking of FATE, if anyone has Legends of Anglerre, I've been working out a conversion to use LoA rather than BRP (http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=553107) for the mechanics.
I've also found a (free) GURPS netbook, Philos Basilikos (http://web.archive.org/web/20061229072721/www.angelwerks.com/GURPS/basiliko2PR.PDF), too.
