I float around. Obviously as a man Rome takes up some significant space in my mental landscape of history.

But Sengoku Japan is always fascinating as a setting, but Muromachi, Edo and Meiji has a wonderful... Narrative flow? I dunno, the stark changes while still being tethered to a running theme of Japaneseness.

China has its own special places in history, like sengoku japan the end of the Han and the start of the 3 kingdoms era has a great setting for conflict and upheaval. Its WHY they keep making the Dynasty warriors games. But I also dig the Tang era for the aesthetics.

I mostly only really like the ancient greeks and early arabs for the mythology and stories, but theres a certain romance to pre 20c bedouin life that always gets me.

Also early to mid 20c America, from gangsters and prohibition, huge growth, aviation advancments, the whole of Noir genre... Wonderfully atmospheric.

My own countries history is less interesting. We're a very class conscious people so a history that is little more that a parade of arsehole kings never really spoke to me. Like the greeks and arabs, I like our mythology and folklore better. Your Robin Hoods and King Arthurs. Same with the scandos, actually. More the mythology than the history.
