also still debating Roman history (and learning Latin and/or Greek) versus either colonial American history or Civil War era American history.

Latin is pretty easy to learn, and can definitely be done via self study. Greek takes a little more work, imo, but I became a pretty good reader with a little less than a year of study. I recently read most of the Odyssey in Greek. I can definitely help you if you decide to pursue the languages.

There are a couple of places that offer post-baccaluarette programs in Classical Languages. I believe Penn does, for example.
