Only three factions actually get them, and they are absolutely a game-breaker if used properly. Ancient Roman architecture adopted the external language of classical Greek architecture for the purposes of the ancient Romans, but was different from Greek buildings, becoming a new architectural style. But more than anything else? Elephants, of all three varieties. You've got tolerable missile troops with the standard Greek Archers, and you've got Scythed Chariots for when you just need to panic a bunch of enemies on open terrain. You've got both Pike Phalanxes and Legionaries, so you can have your pike-wall cake and eat your excellent-siege-troops-and-amazing-reserves too (that metaphor wound up a bit tortured.). Companions are flawless medium cav, and there's nothing wrong with your skirmishers. Good Cavalry? You've got Cataphracts, and there's no such thing as better heavy Cav. Seculids are also excellent because they have simply the best army roster of any faction. They also have the best temples of any Roman faction (+exp and +equipment quality are win, basically) and they get Gladiators before anyone else, if that matters to you. In the late game, you've got the Post-Marius Roman army, which is frankly quite good in all respects. The AI is awful at managing the Greeks, so you should be able to easily rip their Phalanxes apart despite your apallingly weak early-game Roman army. The Brutii have an excellent starting position and early expansion into the Greek Cities, giving them most of the wealthiest territories in the game from very early on. Best factions are either the Brutii or the Seculid Empire.
