If you're playing Bruti, have Greece and Asia Minor, how do you NOT have money flowing out of your ears? That area is the cash cow to end all cash cows. Build trade. Sea trade generates more money than anything else. Build ports to the max level you can, then build markets, then roads. You're Bruti, so build Mercury temples to increase trade even more. Do you have Rhodes yet? Grab it if you don't, it will increase all your naval trade by 40%.
