Welcome to the list of wonders that are already existing in the starting date of Imperator Rome. Why are they important?
Because you can go and conquer pre-existing wonders for their unique wonder effect instead of building a new wonder yourself.
I usually go for Artemis Temple, Acropolis of Pergamon, and Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. Because they’re all in Asia which is literally the middle of known world. Naturally they are easily accessible for any nation you play.
