"Ancient history is the aggregate of past events from the beginning of recorded human history and extending as far as the Early Middle Ages. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with Sumerian Cuneiform script from around the 30th century BC. Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, some Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, the closure of the Platonic Academy in 529 AD, the death of the emperor Justinian I in 565 AD, the coming of Islam or the rise of Charlemagne. In India, ancient history includes the early period of the Middle Kingdom and, in China, the time up to the Qin Dynasty." ~Goodreads
Included in this list are recent and upcoming ancient history releases that I am looking forward to reading.
