Great post! Personally I've started learning Latin recently and I'm absolutely loving it. I've also started to develop an interest in the ancient world that I didn't have beforehand, so if you know any good resources please send them my way!
I think that learning classical languages must be something of a rabbit hole; Now that I've started with Latin I want to learn (in order of my level of interest) Sanskrit, Old English, Proto-Indo-European and Ancient Greek.
Yes, Germanic languages are their own rabbit hole. And so are slavic languages! Only PIE is not a language at all, its a bunch of etymological reconstructions. Speaking of which, Chinese diachronics is another hole that runs deep.
I can recommend thelatinlibrary.com for a lot of latin texts with which to sharpen your teeth.
