    These are already in EBI.

    Perverted Nutcase-"the Senate and People of Rome where shocked when this man married his own sister, tried to put up his horse Incitatus for elections, and started arguing with statues"
    Since it's impossible to marry a sister to a brother in the M2:TW engine, I don't think this trait is going to make it.

    Really? Well congratulations to the team and I have a few more suggestions

    Pimp-"Honest men leave certain professions to women, he may pay the penalty for his choice of income"-6 Influence, Ineligable for all offices, +10% trading income

    Son in Power-"This man owns nothing, and before the law one does not aproach him, one aproaches his father, so who exactly would have business dealings with him?"-5% trade income -5% farming income +1 influence

    Raised by his mother-"Although his mother may or may not have done a great job all must ask where his father was, and why his family has nothing to do with the custom of the ancestors?"-3 influence, 10% less likely to achieve senatorial office

    Reunficator of Alexandros' empire, when you own all land that Alexander owned as a Diadochi State.

    Still not a Roman trait though (at least the way you put it). I really like the "satirist" one from the OP.

    Rômaioktonoi

    "This man really hates Romans. He imagines the crushing of Latin bones while eating, the blood of Latins when bathing, and dreams of murdering the lot of interlopers. Hellas belongs to the Hellens and so does the rest of the world! This man might be considered dangerously imbalanced if he didn't like doing his job so much and were left to his own devices."

    Horatius - may be an obvious one, but was perverted nutjob a reference specifically to Caligula? How often did things like that happen in the Roman world before Caligula?
    "You must know, then, that there are two methods of fight, the one by law, the other by force: the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is therefore necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man.
    -Niccolo Machiavelli

    Romaioktonoi effects:
    +1 command against Roman
    +2 troop morale

    And let me give this one:

    Philoromaioi

    "This man really love Romans, he even imaging if he was born as a Romans, what will he does? and he always try to found some vacation spot in Roma... His obsession with Romans even go to an unhealthy extent, and he often found worshipping Roman figurines and dressed in Senatores' like Toga..."

    Philoromaioi effects:
    -2 command against Roman
    -3 troop morale
    -1 influence

    EDIT : I rationalize their effects now
