Do you avoid fighting on multiple fronts? the AI never accepts a ceasefire and playing as ROME, it seems everyone at some point declares war? Is the only way to avoid this problem is to wipe everyone out who declares on you???

Well that's a general problem of RTW, the diplomacy isn't working at all when it comes to alliances and ceasefires, the AI always wants war, regardless what's their position.
But someone has recently posted a force- diplomacy mod for RTR VII which makes the cheat to work (Although the last patch should do the same) : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?p=10985113#post10985113

You could also act like a real Roman and destroy every single fool who dares to form a threat for your empire
