Ancient History surveys?

[Jeff Kahl 0]

Which surveys of Ancient History (especially Greece and Rome) tend to be highly regarded/recommended by Objectivists?

The Rise and Fall of Classical Greece 

I know little about history of Rome. Perhaps others know some good scholarship on it in the league with the preceding book on Ancient Greece.

@Jeff Kahl, Objectivists tend to like Durant's history of civilization, which has volumes on the ancient Oriental world, Greece, and Rome. I can say that his writing is superb. He may be substantially out of date.

Dr. Leonard Peikoff has a list of recommended history books:

I can say that I read McNeill's single volume history of the world, and I really liked it. I am nothing resembling a historian, though.
