glad you put in pontus and lydia... so no troy now?!
btw, another civ idea is Pergammum. perfect geographic setting, hellenistic successor state, interacted with Rome quite a bit.
On another note, while i completely agree that Rome dominated the western med. after the second punic war and were also more powerful than the antigonid macedonians, they certainly did not "rule the world" or even the entire med. The Seleukid and Ptolemaic empires (the true macedonian heirs to Alexander in terms of empire grandeur) were still powerful. yes, rome was greater than the seleukids by 180, but the ptolemies were still pretty stable and powerful for a long time afterward. again, rome was powerful, but it didn't "rule the world" by 200.
similarly, the Julii family didnt rule rome the entire time. when you said "House Julii ruled the world for approximately 3/4 of a millennium", i was reacting to that because its not true.
Rome dominated "the world" for that long (already covered the whole "rule" thing

), but the
Julii family only ruled for 120 years, which is obviously longer than alexander
