Macedon (RTW Faction)
From TWC Wiki
Macedon (Μακεδονία) are one of the factions in Rome: Total War designed to be non-playable. However they can be made playable by simple modifications to the game files (more information on which can be found here).

[edit] Annoying Linguistic Note
The symbol for Macedon in RTW is the Greek letter Lambda, which is not usually associated with Macedonia, but rather Sparta, the lambda being the first letter in "Lakedaimon," the name for the area around Sparta in Greek.
