None of them. That crap is boring. History began when Rome fell.
That’s when Western society got interesting.

bayoubengals88,
What parts of Roman history do you know that you find uninteresting? Early monarchy? Tarquinius Superbus throwing Servius, his father-in-law, down the stairs of the Curia? Early Republican history? Verginia's father stabbing her to death with a butcher's knife so that she avoid the lustful and corrupt Appius Claudius the Decemvir? Perhaps the later Republican period? Gaius Marius' shameful end to an otherwise glorious career - a "reign of terror" for the Second Founder of Rome who had conquered the invading Teutones? Or perhaps Gaius Octavius' cementing of imperial power where his great uncle (Julius Caesar) had failed? I won't even mention Elagabalus, perhaps he's too scandalous. You find these dull, eh? Or have you just not yet familiarized yourself with the details of Roman history, the foundations of Western Civilization?
