Just came off a BI campaign as the Eastern Empire and couldn't wait to post! Lived possibly my greatest battle ever - 7-star general/faction leader and army met face to face with Romano-British warlord Artorius Castus (King Arthur!). He cut me to pieces and set my entire British invasion back by years (game years,I mean).

No,I'm not the least bit ashamed of this one at all!

I once had an Alexander the Great as well. I've had some Hamilcar's and Hannibal's but never with Barca at the end of the name.

If I'm not mistaken I believe the Seluecids start out with a historical figure. Their faction leader is Anitochus (III).

He was a Selucid King that ruled from 223 to 187 BC, so the time is roughly right. You can check this encyclopedia to see for yourself. http://www.reference.com/search?r=13&q=Antiochus%20III

He fought every one from Egyptians, Romans, to rebel greek cities, and Jewish insurrection. He eventually earned the name "Antiochus the Great" (Antiochos Megas)

I my campaigns i've seen a Hanibal Barca and some other barca that sounded familiar...I right now have a Gaius Julius at 12 years old

and have seen a captain vercingetorix but never the man. I've also seen a marcus brutus (even though common) and a I ran across an Alexander in Macedon but he wasn't "The Great" yet.

I just encountered a "Quintis Sertorius" on my Scipii game. No, he wasn't a son-in-law. He wasn't adopted.

I had a marriage opportunity with as Julii for a "caesarion" unfortunately I clicked the wrong option, a chance lost possibly for ever. He was useles but he could have had a Gaius somewhere down the line.

Earlier I was besieged by two Gaullic armies controlled by a "Captain Conan" Ha they're called Conan and they are Barbarian..
