Scipio. Liked his ever since I played 'Centurion: Defender of Rome'. No other valid reasoning to back up my choice however.

Sounds like you're ready to vote in the general elections.

I'll vote Republican now and if they do a poor job I'll vote Democrat later. For this reason, I don't vote at all! :P

You're leaving out a great one: Quintus Sertorius. Outmaneuvered several Roman generals, Pompey among them all while being greatly outnumbered and possessing mainly native troops. Most brilliant in the era if you ask me. In the absence of him I'll vote for C. Iulius Caesar. -M

He did have a goodly rep when he was with the Republic and pretty well kept it when he wasn't. It would've been interesting to see how he'd have fared against a Sulla or a Marius (Pompey wasn't properly cognominated as you are aware).
