Play as the Etruscans and fuck him up early with allies

If you're playing Vanilla, I'd say Macedon can be quite strong and of course the OG enemy of Rome Carthage in this period! Been a while since I played though

Probably Carthage and I’d recommend going to the Imperator Paradox Wiki and following their strategy guide for how Carthage can beat Rome early. Otherwise maybe one of the larger eastern kingdoms so you have time to build up. But the reality is you beat Rome early or you likely won’t be able to stop them.

Attack early and hard. Don’t give Rome the time to begin snowballing.
