When you start looking for a new challenge you can try out ASM's suggestion. Put your best army and general in Rome and just wait for his massive army to return. Wash, rinse, and repeat. You'll get some fun big battles handed to you and some excellent high-valor troops, probably along with a general with some fantastic defense virtues (assuming you win each time

of course). It's like a repeatable mini-version of waiting for the Mongols in Khazar.

Play GA and you don't have to kill him to win....just use him!!! One of my favorite tactics is to go in and wipe him out, then let the provinces rebel. Inevitably some powerful faction rivaling me in GA points will gobble them up. Let them deal with his legions when they return!!! Let them lose half their best troops fighting him!!
