The I decided to give parthia a "push" and left the Romans to the AI. Later on, I might decide to play as the macedons, or any other faction (especially factions that are on a desperate situation).

The possibilities are endless. Variety guaranteed.

For instance, you can play as the romans until you are already in Iberia, or greece, or the east or even gaul, and then change to another faction and fight them.

This is good especially for those guys (like me) that get bored of the middle/late game and like though battles right from the start.

That is brilliant idea!
Also, you can switch for 1 turn to manipulate AI factions when needed, make them ally or become protectorate, declare war on some 3th party ++
