PODs for the last 30 centuries?

For the eighteenth century: a different or less successful Frederick the Great? I rather like the idea of him pulling a Christina, and his younger brother Augustus William doesn't seem as ept, but perhaps the best thing would be to have one of his elder brothers survive
 
It probably goes without saying that earlier PODs are almost by definition "more interesting."

How about a full-blown bronze age and subsequent technological advancement in ancient Mesoamerica? I.e. the conquistadores more or less get cut down as they land?

Here's a list of messiah claimants. Base a successful and widespread religion on any of the earlier of those and it gets interesting.

Carthage wins, of course.

For that matter, Persia wins! Imagine the butterflies from a subjugated Mycenaean Greece?

Alexander lives longer and/or designates a definite and competent successor. Post-Alexandrian syncretic Hellenic kingdom(s)!

China remains balkanized. Wow.

Conversely, Europe is unified after Rome falls. Hard one, though.

I could go on...

I remember some earlier discussions about China. China has varied between period where it has been united and disunited. The geography might be a reason why it has always been reunited after some time.
 
My list from 10th century:
911-no treaty of Sanit-Clair-sur-Epte, Norman conquest continues leading eventually to Norman Dynasty on the French throne.
1066-Failed Norman invasion of England
1120-la Blanche-nef does not sink. The Anarchy prevented.
1240-Great Khan Ögedei dies in autumn, more than year earlier than IOTL. No Mongol invasion of Poland and Hungary.
1366-Edward the Black Prince did not became ill during his Iberian Campaign and lives long enough to inherit the throne.
1485-Yorkish victory in the Battle of Bosworth
1547-Edward Tudor dies just before his father. Mary Tudor takes throne and marries Philip Habsburg six years earlier than IOTL and has surviving issue.
1651-John Sigismund, son of John Casimir, king of Poland is born healthly and eventually outlives his father. House of Vasa continues.
1759-Frederick II killed during Battle of Kunersdorf. Prussia-screw.
1807-No Tilsit, war between Napoleonic France and Russian Empire continues.
 
Circa 1200 BCE--Trojan war doesn't happen.

Circa 995 kill Olaf Tryggvason earlier. Less cultural damage to Norse Paganism means slower conversion.

1553-- John Dudley arrests Mary and possibly Elizabeth Tudor.

1692- Failed Spanish reconquest of New Mexico after the Pueblo revolt.
 
If you have several PODs for one century, then number them, so we can see which you find most interesting.

One for each? Damn, that's though, I'll try my best (most of them in ancient history are for the sake of completion).

900 BC - The alliance of 12 kings stop the Assyrian expansion.
800 BC - Curb the Etruscan rise.
700 BC - The Neo-Assyrian Empire survives (yeah, contradicts the first one).
600 BC - No babylonian captivity.
500 BC - Athens win the Peloponnesian War.
400 BC - Alex the Big never becomes big.
300 BC - Someone else unfies China.
200 BC - If possible prevent the Mauryan collapse.
100 BC - Reinvigorate the Roman Republic.
0 AD - No Jewish Wars.
100 AD - No Commodus or a "nicer" collapse of the Han dynasty.
200 AD - Rome-screw.
300 AD - Different Council of Nicea.
400 AD - No Angle invasion of Britannia (or it is repelled).
500 AD - No Gothic Wars.
600 AD - No Islamic Conquest of Persia.
700 AD - The Caliphate expands even more in India.
800 AD - Mercia becomes the dominant Anglo-Saxon power.
900 AD - Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor, wins the Battle of Stilo.
1000 AD - No Norman conquest.
1100 AD - Henry VI, HRE, doesn't die young.
1200 AD - Charles of Anjou never sets foot in Sicily (preferably gets killed).
1300 AD - Go-Daigo is less radical and the Kemmu Restoration in Japan lives on.
1400 AD - #YorkForever
1500 AD - A different Charles V (or Philip II) deals with the Reformation better.
1600 AD - Imperial victory in the Thirty Years War. :^)
1700 AD - No rise of Prussia.
1800 AD - Qing China and the Ottoman Empire are more successful.
1900 AD - Jesus, there is a lot, the most basic is no WWII of some kind.
2000 AD - No 9/11.
 
It sounds like you want us to have one POD in each century. Not sure I can do that, but here's a few. I also don't know if they're "the most interesting," and I'm really just coming off the dome with them, but they're at least interesting to me.

* 900s BC: No partition of Israel.
* 800s BC: No Carthage.
* 700s BC: Greek colonization of Sicily happens at different sites.
* 600s BC: Sin-shar-ishkun survives the sack of Nineveh.
* 500s BC: No Solon.
* 400s BC: Thermopylae happens as normal but people actually remember the Thespians in future retellings.
* 300s BC: Alexander the Marginal.
* 200s BC: No Qin China.
* 100s BC: More successful Indo-Greek Kingdom.
* 0s BC: Julius Caesar is born female.
* 0s AD: Titus kicks the fever.
* 100s AD: Marcus Aurelius really does die in 175. The revolt of Avidius Cassius is more successful.
* 200s AD: Novatian succeeds in becoming recognized as the legitimate Pope.
* 300s AD: Constantine is killed making a cavalry charge through a swamp somewhere along the Danube.
* 400s AD: The Council of Chalcedon in some way goes differently.
* 500s AD: Justinian dies during the Nika Riots.
* 600s AD: Ali becomes caliph in 632.
* 700s AD: Caliph Umar II actually does abandon al-Andalus.
* 800s AD: No Rurik.
* 900s AD: Seljuk stays Jewish or Nestorian.
* 1000s AD: The Seljuks head for India rather than the Middle East.
* 1100s AD: The Jurchens lose the Jin-Song Wars. The Song hang on to the north.
* 1200s AD: Temujin fails to unite the Mongols.
* 1300s AD: The conclave of 1378 chooses a pope who is not Bart Prignano.
* 1400s AD: The Great Horde crosses the Ugra.
* 1500s AD: The Dancing Plague is everywhere. Just everywhere.
* 1600s AD: No Cromwell.
* 1700s AD: The Crimean Khanate holds on longer.
* 1800s AD: Brock survives the Battle of Queenston Heights.
* 1900s AD: Tadayoshi Koga lands his damaged Zero in the ocean and sinks to the bottom. The Allies never get an intact Zero.
* 2000s AD: Bush loses Florida. No, for real.
 
1st century BC: someone in the Roman army comes up with the idea of stirrups (that is, not too long after the solid-tree-saddle)

Edit: basically the premise from Cato's Cavalry (by @Cymraeg) about 500 years earlier.
