Same here! Herodotus’ histories has been on my list to read for a loooong time. Very interested in ancient history and medieval history

I’d also recommend the Fall Of Civilizations podcast. Very well done episodes with a lot of solid research, usually a poem or two read in that cultures language, what it would have been like to see and live through the end of your empire! About 18-19 episodes, often about 3-4 hours long… highly, highly recommend it!
Fascinating! will definitely check it out
