Greeks! Romans! Persians! No one does it better than Michael Curtis Ford

I'm a huge fan. You can't put his books down. They are based on countless hours of research and he adds a perfect narrative to go along with the facts. I highly recommend you start with The Last King and then The 10,000 and then the rest of his library. Fantastic reads.
It's stunning what the Roman army was capable of doing. I would read something and roll my eyes only to look it up and he was 100% accurate in his descriptions.

To the Romans, the greatest enemy the Republic ever faced was not the Goths or Huns, nor even Hannibal, but rather a ferocious and brilliant king on the distant Black Sea: Mithridates Eupator VI of Pontus, known to history as Mithridates the Great

Thanks for the recommendation. Sounds great.

I'm assuming you've read Gates of Fire by Stephen Pressfield?

I read it and honestly didn't love it. It was fine but not memorable.

I prefer Michael Curtis Ford over Pressfield. Ben Kane is also great for historical fiction, as is Conn Igguldun.
