I'd love to learn about Sargon, any solid details of his campaigns, or is that stretching a little too far back?
My picks are (sadly showing my European (and African)limited knowledge...
Hannibal Barca
Scipio Africanus
Alexander the Great
Julius Caesar
Sulla

I think Thutmose III was a sound choice, Belisarius.
