[The_Emperor]

There is only one starting point (270BC)

The Initial Playable factions are: Julii, Scipii and Brutii. But once you complete a Short or long Imperial campaign as one of those factions you unlock the following...

Britannia
Gaul
Germania
Carthage
Greek cities
Selucid Empire
Parthia
Egypt

Non Playable factions (unless you mod them in) are:
Macedon
Pontus
Armenia
Dacia
Thrace
Scythia
Numidia
Spain

SPQR (the Senate) is not playable and the developers have said that modding them in so they are playable will cause a lot of problems due to the special nature of the Senate that is hardcoded into the game.
