What to do with the Romans?

Migrating is one thing but making sense another. Romans don't make sense anywhere outside of Latium, lest they conquer it.

letting them live is a mistake in it's own right. Just do the easy way and light Barbaropolis.

Yep. And that's because they are the first ones to get mauled. Epeiros by me, and the Arverni by the Aedui (who I then rename as "Vergalla" or "Great Gaul").

Well, you can always use the fact that regional barrackses will make them use region troops. But yes, seeing FMs with Roman names doesn't make much sense outside of Italy.

Roman culture doesn't make sense outside of Italy as well. The only faction you could feasibly recreate with the Romans might be the Etruscans, but these are long gone.

Sicily is the easiest option, and it allows you to control them via bottleneck while they still have three decent cities. Additionally the Sicilian region has some Italian influence, and the regional troops would have that flavor (samnites, Bruttians etc). The Romans also get to fight the Greeks (when Syracuse inevitably rebels to them) and Carthage, who will periodically invade with a 1/2 stack - so the flavor of the Roman enemies will also remain. To join all of the Rome haters, this would essentially turn Sicily into your own little Zen garden of death, with the Romans being the Gladiatorial stars. Actually I plan on forcing the Romans into Sicily myself in my own game as the Aedui, although at the moment I am fleeing north, away from them...

Meanwhile, migrating them into asia minor, and renamed them as "Troy" does made a lot of sense... just give them a lot of Hoplitai Haploi afterwards....
