The Landmark Ancient History series of books that I have read in the last several years (Thucydides, Xenophon, and Julius Caesar) have been amongst the most enjoyable historical source material I have ever read to date. The generous amount of maps, helpful footnotes, and knowledgeable essays are all aimed at people who like history. It matters not if you are a scholar or just interested, there is something in these books for everyone. Don't be put off by their thickness because once you start into them they flow very well due to the excellent translations.
