If you want everything in one place, there's Cambridge Ancient History. The amount of the material is huge, but you can decide what interests you the most. EB time frame takes 5 volumes there 7.1, 7.2, 8, 9, 10.

for Roman history, Thomas Africa's "The Immense Majesty" explains things quite nicely and is rather witty to boot. Very good read. -M
I would only be mainly interested on the Roman side and mainly from around 300bc till the death of Augustus. Which Cambridge Ancient History, Volume should i pick??
Thanks
