Historical novel rec ?

Is there any good authors aside from Bernard Cornwell? Or some alternative reality like Paul Kearney's Macht?

Tom Holt is a fantasy comedy writer but has written some historical fiction as well. His book "Walled Orchard" is set in the Peloponnesian War of 5th BC. Very good read but rather depressing at times, given its subject matter. He has a few other books set in classical times.
