I'll see if I remember taking a screenie, when I play again.

IIRC there's about 1.2 million Minai in the treasury at the moment. I consider those my savings for the upcoming campaign to capture all of Asia minor. And my reserve when the Sweboz eventually backstab me.

Apart from the 3 legions, I got 8 cohortes of Celtic swordsmen at the disposal of my client king in Tolosa, various auxilliaries to keep the people happy in Spain and Africa and a large mercenary army on Salamis to raid the Ptolemaic coastline in Cilica and Syria.

On top of that there's 4 fleets: One in Rome to scuttle troops back and forth from Spain and Africa. One in Taras to connect with Greece. One in Rhodos to keep the Agean clear and one in Salamis to raid the coast.

All that is paid by Italy, Tolosa, Spain, Greece and the north African coast stretching to Lepki in the east.

Another reason for the large treasury is also that I haven't fought any major wars for 20 years or so.

Rome is so easy to play when it comes to money, They seem to grow it.

What I would like to know is, does it indeed work well if you give another faction money. The last time I tried it(can't remember who) I gave large amounts of cash(200,000, I think) away to support a faction that was being bullied by a faction I didn't like, but I didn't see any change in the situation.

I'm quite sure it works. The Aedui and the Macedonians would have been wiped out long ago without the financial support I give them.
