Autistic people, did your special interest exist prior to the year 1800? If not, what would be the closest thing to it?

By exist, I mean something you’d be able to study. For example, dinosaurs existed well before 1800 but that doesn’t mean there was a good way for the layman to learn about them.

Fall of the Roman Empire for me. Edward Gibbons wrote 'The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' in the late 18th century, so yes, I could've studied it before that.
