Any time period and place is fine, preferably ancient tho. Basically, I'd be interested in learning about some piece of history or culture through the lens of commoners living at that time. Ideally, I would like a book where they give you some translated primary text and then give an analysis on it. I wanted to dip into some philology-adjacent field recently, so if you know anything about philology that's approachable, I'd be glad too.
