I'm going with Polybius. He was perhaps the greatest writer of the history of the rise of the Roman (Republican) Empire.

I enjoyed reading most of the rest (or soon will enjoy) and the only one I didn't really enjoy reading was Thucydides, though I believe it has more to do with the dark topic he discussed, rather then his actual writing style.
