A great historical novel Trilogy is Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers but I don't know if you would call it a book for teens it can be a little graphic.
Hadassah is a young jewish girl who is taken in the fall of Jerusalem. Shipped to Rome she is bought by a Roman family and given as a personal servant to their daughter. This series follows her journey as she falls in love with her masters son. It also follows the story of a German gladiator, Atretes and how their stories connect.
Another good one is Maire by Linda Winsor.
Maire is the young Celtic warrior queen of Gleanmara. On her first raid of the Welsh settlement of Emrys she must fight one-on-one with their ruler, Rowan. She eventually wins and to escape the grasp of the evil warlock Morlach she names the terms of her victory. He must marry her and become her hostage. He agrees to her terms and go back to Gleanmara with her and teaches her people a new way of thinking while winning Maire and saving Gleanmara.
