If your husband has a keen interest in ancient history, it gives you plenty of options to choose from. Here are a few gift ideas that your husband may appreciate:

1. Subscription to History Magazine - Get your husband a subscription to a magazine that covers ancient history, like Archaeology or National Geographic History. This will keep him up to date on the latest research and discoveries from around the world.

2. A Book on Ancient History - Consider getting your husband a book that covers a period or an aspect of ancient history that he is particularly interested in. Some popular authors include Mary Beard, Tom Holland, and Robin Lane Fox. Alternatively, you could opt for a coffee-table book filled with stunning images and accompanying text that tells the story of ancient civilizations.

3. Ancient Artifacts - If your husband is an enthusiast of ancient cultures, he might appreciate some authentic artifacts, such as ancient coins or pottery, which he can display. You can find such items on sites like Etsy, where you can go through listings posted by local artisans or antique store owners that offer a curated selection of items.

4. A Visit to an Archaeological site - How about purchasing tickets to an ancient site or a museum exhibition catered towards ancient history lovers? You can visit a site like Pompeii or the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey, where your husband can experience the ancient world first-hand and learn more about the history of the site.

5. A Course on Ancient History - If your husband is someone who loves to learn, gifting a course that specializes in ancient history could help him delve deeper into the subject. Look for online resources like Coursera or EdX, where he can take classes with expert professors from top universities globally.

6. A Movie or Documentary - Consider getting your husband a DVD or streaming access to a film or documentary exploring ancient history. A few suggestions might include “Gladiator,” for the ancient Roman world, “The Mummy” for the Egyptian twists, or a documentary like “The Rise and Fall of the Spartans” for a more in-depth look into Greek history.
