What was your favorite non-American period of history to study as a kid?
As I forget much of what I studied, I have excluded some important periods, so use the "other" option to comment.
For me, Roman.

well thats interesting...I too studied plutarch, tacitus, polybius, sallust, suetonius etc..(the peloponnesian war and those that followed as well..the wart of the leagues etc..).I have the entire cambridge ancient history series from 403 bc until the fall of the empire..of course going to a catholic univ. ( st.johns) I studied a great deal more as an adult and still do....
