Join the club of people who acknowledge that there's much more interesting history than that, and you'll suddenly forget all about Rome.

I love learning new history and I'm open to suggestions. Any less-trodden paths you'd recommend?
For national history, Chinese is probably my favorite by far.
May I suggest you do a domain-specific history dive, such as the history of computing, the history of science or some other subject you may enjoy more. That's the real good stuff.
For me it's not so much what's interesting as what affects my day to day. I love Chinese history but I'm unlikely to come across anything today with origins in Chinese law, or traverse the path of a Chinese road, or use an interesting word with a Chinese etymology and an associated story from old China.
