1955"Originally published in 1864 as as 'La Cite? Antique, ' this remarkable work describes society as it existed in Greece during the age of Pericles and in Rome at the time of Cicero. Working with only a fraction of the materials available to today's classical scholar, Fustel de Coulanges fashioned a complete picture of life in the ancient city, resulting in a book impressive today as much for the depth of its portrait as for the thesis it presents. In 'The Ancient City, ' Fustel argues that primitive religion constituted the foundation of all civic life... 'The Ancient City' rightly takes its place alongside a number of pioneering works of the late nineteenth century that offered radically new interpretations of ancient society and culture. Indeed, modern anthropology, as well as classics, owes a debt to Fustel de Coulanges, whose early insights in 'The Ancient City' remain valid and provocative today."
