Aren't the Romans vanilla Seleucids to make to so that factions would murder the right factions?

No, that was due to hardcoded limits on the culture slots. Before the R:TW v1.3 patch, it wasn't possible to change a faction's culture. There were three Roman faction slots (not counting the senate), two Punic, one Egyptian, etc. In order to group the factions into reasonably realistic cultures, the EB team had to juggle them around. They didn't want to give Rome it's own, unique culture, since it was far closer to the Greeks than, say, Carthage. So Carthage was placed into the Egyptian slot, while Rome was grouped with the Western Greek factions.

After the 1.3 patch this became moddable, so Saba could be given the same culture as Carthage.

You've got one heck of a memory! I don't even remember all that.
