Gosh, Rome fought nearly everyone after Hannibal. Gauls, Germans, Dacians (an
excuse for Trajan's Column in Lego), Sarmatians, Macedonians/Greeks, various
eastern Alexandrian Successor states (including Ptolemeic Egypt and the last of
his line, Cleopatra), Ponts, Galatians, Persians in a variety of formats
(probably their most enduring and successful foe), Britons, Picts, revived
Greeks-pretending-to-be-Romans Byzantines, Huns, and who knows how many I left
out! Greece/Rome/Persia/Carthage/Egypt provides a vast backdrop for
"civilized" building. Celts could be the universal "barbarians" (they put in
various appearances in briton, france, italy, germany, switzerland, the balkans
and asia minor). I'd love it!
