Of course Rome! Julii in particular...

The same. Also the first faction I played

[Paradox]

Speaking of the Julii, why is it that you can't play as Gaius Julius Caesar in the Imperial Campaign?

Although you can't play as Julius Caesar in the Imperial Campaign, the original CA plan was to include a Provincial Campaign (basically a small campaign focused on a certain region) which focused upon his conquest of Gaul. In the end this was unfortunately dropped due to a lack of time time to implement it.

That would've been great, it would've been more realistic for you to start by unifying your own region before going on to conquer the world. IIRC, he was included in the tutorial right?

Carthage, Greek Cities and Macedon. I like all of these three.

Playing as the Julii is kind of boring. At the start you usually just fight barbarians.

I started with the Julii, but after a while my save games got corrupted somehow. So I abandoned that and never completed the campaign.
Then tried the Brutii, played for a bit and got bored. They get to fight Greece and Macedon though, so it's great.
Then when I got around to giving it a go again, I chose the Scipii and finished the campaign with them. Carthage was the only cool enemy then.

I also think that if you run around the other Roman factions and capture the territories they're looking to expand into, they kind of get stuck and don't really expand, making them easy pickings when the confrontation with Rome arrives.
For example, I conquered the northern Italian territories with the Scipii and the Julii never went past those Patavium, etc. provinces. So when I attacked Rome, they hardly had 4-5 provinces.
