I can't think of a very good reason to get a phd in history or classics. The job market for those fields is horribly saturated and pays very poorly. If you're going to work you ass off for 5-7 years, you'd better be able to get a good job after.
Getting a master's isn't a bad idea since it's much less of a time commitment, although it would take probably close to the length of time that a jd would take if you do a research thesis. You could also consider doing a 4-year joint jd/ms program -- kill two birds with one stone.

Lindsay: Well, did it work for those people?
Tobias: No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...but it might work for us.
