Public order in Rome hasn't been a problem for me so far (about 30 years since I took it) - It was so well developed by the time I took it that it had 200% public order even at very high tax rate with a garrison of 4 archer units.

To actually win do you just need 50 provinces + Rome, or do you have to eliminate the other families too? I'm about 8 provinces short, but the brutii have a vast empire stretching from northern greece right around the black sea, wo wiping them out would be a real pain
Nah you do not need to wipe out other families. Just 50 provinces including Rome.
