Weird question, but are there any good books on ancient history, African history or imperial China on Audible?

Edit: for clarity, I've been listening to SPQR on Audible, and I've been enjoying it. A lot of the history books on Audible seem like poo poo, though, which is why I'm throwing out such a large net. I can get more specific if there are more good books than I thought.

I don't have a book rec, but for African history I really like the YouTube channel HomeTeam History: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC12lU5ymIvSpgl8KntDQUQA

They cover a huge variety of history from all of Africa, from specific kings/queens to offbeat things like the history of Nubian wrestling. There's even a few speculative videos thrown in, like why Africa has historically been perceived as a threat by Western countries and what that means today.

So if you like being thrown a random topic within the length and breadth of African history, it's rad.

That's funny, that channel was why I was looking for more African history information. It's a great channel!
