I think the most difficult part is to display the turmoils caused by Sulla. In 82 BC, he was the dictator of Rome and, basically, strengthened the power of the optimates and sentenced a lot of people to death and then resigned in 79 BC. 8 years later many of his reforms were cancelled, some were'nt, like the quaestor being the entrance office to the senat. Displaying this will prove itself as challenging, for it had serious influence in the roman republic, and gave the optimates fraction some more time to exist and hold their powerful influence.

I think it is the best idea to use the Imperium Iulianum as the rebellious faction, and give them a good opportunity to conquer Gaul and thus gain Power, for simulating the gallic wars, for example the campaign starts when Cesar receives command about the gallic provinces and thus gains a good position for conquest (just an example, I know that we already decided not to let the campaign begin in that time)
Also, there were remnants of the seleucid empire in syria until 64 BC, Pompey conquered them in that year, but that is not my specialty. But perhaps it would be sufficient to make a bunch of rebel cities there.

At last, we should also decide when the campaign ends. If we stick to the time span of EB1, that would be 206 AC (286 years from 80 BC). Germanic society went through significant changes in that time, especially in case of the marcomannic kingdom, which could make up well for an own faction instead of swebozez or lugians (their rise to power could make an interesting campaign, I think)
