Interested in some new greek history books

by lynx10001

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.
