I started a new campaign with RS 1.6a as Rome on M/M.
At first it took some small steps to stabilize my economy and the loyalty of my provinces. I built a few farming buildings, temples and sewers.
Meanwhile I gathered troops from the middle italian provinces.
My faction leader and his heir led a legion against Phyrrus, who camped with his army in calabria. The fighting was fierce.
Phyrrus and my leader both lost their lives charging the flanks of each others forces. Phyrrus forces overwhelmed mine and routed them.
Already in hades he gained a phyrric victory. My heir and his shamed forces returned to Rome. A few rounds later, I took revenge when a legion took Tarentum.
I took Croton with the aid of my syracusean allies, who originally intended to take the cities for themselves (By naval invasion!).

Later they left, honoring our treaties. Meanwhile I laid siege on Cannae with two freshly recruited legions.
In the following rounds I continued to improve my economy.
Also a lot of cultural buildings were built. Rome is now crowned with a triumphal arch and a magnificent temple to Jupiter was errected.
During this Carthage annihilated Syracuse. Parthia and Armenia advanced into seleucid territory.

Recently I invaded Liguria. During this siege Tarentum grew to a huge city and triggered the imperial reforms. Carthage started to block a few of my southern ports. In a few years roman forces will invade Sicily. The next screenshot shows the current situation:
