Can you play past 14AD?

Yeah, I believe they end right before the Second Punic War begins. Just when they get to the good stuff... Given the percentage of writing about Romans in an average update, it is quite regrettable, although, true Roman fans already know just about everything about the Second Punic War that can fir in those messages.

Vanilla RTW and then EB is what encouraged me to switch from post 1400 CE history to antiquity. Now I read copious amounts of books about Romans and surrounding civilizations during that period. I do not see why other people might not be similarly inspired.

they killed my people's golden age and soiled on our memory. labeling us as barbarians and said we didnt wash. even though we invented soap. and most of their weapons and armour.(MAIL!) as a rule... I hate the romans. I've read a bunch about them and to be honest alot of their history bores me, especially the imperial years. an Empire's stagnation is kind of... uninspiring... to say the least. I lose even more interest once Christianity comes into the game. By that whole point you know for a fact you are never going to know what was really happening, so why bother reading it at all? Though the tales of much longer ago are exaggerated and some things may be made up entirely (Josephus?) it's alot more romantic and interesting. Something you can read at night and fall into a dream about. Try doing that reading about Constantine... I'd have a stroke from being extremely bored before I daydream about bringing Christianity to the empire.

the successor wars are very interesting (though I don't know much about them, or own a book about it) and the Greek's golden age is quite interesting as well. I wish my ancestors had the gusto to write things down and I could know lots of things about them... oh well I guess i just have to hope that one day they find the writings of some enlightened Greek or a Celt who learnt to write and had an interest in recording things.
