I'm intrigued about the idea of building up the tiny Roman republic when it is just gaining traction as well. The Punic Wars "made" Rome, but the wars against the former Etruscan states, Gauls, Magna Grecia, Samnites, Lucanians, and such are fertile ground for a campaign. The nature of the Roman army of the time is speculative and it morphed from hoplite to the early Republican pre-Polybian form during this time. I'm not sure how to handle the Macedonian powerhouse on the next block with such a campaign though. That's why I've opted for calling it "post" Alexander. If the map was more limited to primarily Italy the time period could be extended back to the time of the Gaul's sack of Rome.
