If you love this human perspective from other Eras, I highly recommend La Cite Antique (The Ancient City: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Cit%C3%A9_antique) which takes you back how the everyday life of Roman citizens was like. Much better than movies of dull History books.

Jérôme Carcopino's Daily Life in Ancient Rome is another, slightly more modern, book in this vein. Fascinating and very accessible.
