After I took Rome it got boring for me. My armies were so large then that the brother households had no chance aganst me and rather avoided me. Those pesky Egyptians were still putting up a good fight tho.

Sewers, Public Baths, Aqueducts all help keep squalor down.

In cities where public order constantly becomes an issue, I just keep around 10 units as a garrison, then let the people riot. When the riot happens, thousands of civilians die, some of my soldiers die. I retrain the units (which reduces the population). Sometimes it takes several turns for the riots to stop, but when they do all the malcontents are gone. You can also keep spies in your own cities, this helps keep unrest down as well.

take a diplomat to you enemy and give them the troubles regions as a gift. now immidiately recapture the settlement (they dont get a garrison if you give them as a gift) and exterminate the populace.

no more riots.

Constantly training units of peasants and sending them off to the frontier regions helps keep squalor down.
When you take an enemy province, exterminate the population and move in peasants from one of your large cities, when they get there, disband them inside the city and they become the new citizens.

This doesnt solve the problem, merely moves it to another city, but I find it to be a very usefull tactic at times.

That is also a good tactic to raise the population of a city (like Sparta) where the population just stops growing no matter what you do.
