Glad you like it, Shawn. I'm left wondering why places like Jerusalem, Damascus, Tarsus and Athens are not included ...and why Byzantium wasnt accepted. Also, I was pretty sure that the Romans razed Carthage so it wouldnt give them any more trouble after the last Punic War.

Regarding Carthage... After the Third Punic War, the city was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC. However, the Romans refounded Carthage, which became the Empire's fourth most important city and the capital of the short-lived Vandal kingdom. It remained one of the most important Roman cities until the Muslim conquest when it was destroyed a second time in AD 698. Copied from wikipedia.com I have no idea how I managed to mess that up... seeing as the Second Punic War is my favourite period in Roman history.
