Go for Egypt, the longer they grow the more deadly they will become. Dacia aren't a threat, but Egypt can actually push you out of Asia Minor if you are unlucky.

With Greece you should now have a fantastic economy behind you, so there isn't any particular reason to go after the riches of the east. Instead I'd go after Dacia and look to cutting off the expansion of the Julii. It's very unlikely that the other Romans will head east now that you have Crete, Rhodes and Halicarnassus, so that front should be solid.
What happened to the Scipii? After they've taken Sicily they usually carry on into Africa and wipe out Carthage and Numidia. However this doesn't always happen, instead they load everyone on boats and head east, looking to capture Corinth, or move on to Crete and Rhodes. I guess they tried to do this, and either the fleet got sunk on the way or you headed them off before they got there. So now they're kind of stuck in limbo as have nowhere to go, even though Africa is wide open.

Try and dispatch and army or two to the Nile Delta. If you can take those 3 cities you will win the war, but not before. If you fight them on the front you meet (Asia Minor, then Middle East, Then Nile) you won't break the Egyptians ability to send large armies at you until you take those 3 cities.
