Hi all,
I hope this question is okay to ask here, I'm looking to buy some new books about ancient greek (or even roman) history, this topic is completely new to me and I can see that there are a tonne of books on the subject!
Can anyone recommend some good starting literature?
I have no particular requirements as I'm just a hobbyist but learning about ancient rulers, battles, philosophy or civilisation would all be really fun!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I mainly stick to audiobooks but here are the books I've gone through and enjoyed on Rome personally. I don't know how easily available these maybe in print.
The Fall of Carthage by Adrian Goldsworthy
SPQR by Mary Beard
Stories of Old Greece and Rome by Emilie Kip Baker
Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome by E. M. Berens
Famous Men of Rome by John Henry Haaren

Greek and Roman Ghost Stories - Lacy Collison-Morley
Legion versus Phalanx by Myke Cole
