The Ancient City: A Study of the Religion, Laws, and Institutions of Greece and Rome Coulanges Numa Denis Fustel De
The Ancient City is Fustel de Coulanges' superb investigation of life during classical antiquity; a culture he felt rested and flourished upon religious observance. Coulanges covers each major topic in sequence, beginning with the crucial assertion that religion what was held classical life together. This fascinating history offers the reader ideas of how day-to-day life in Ancient Rome and Greece was sustained for centuries.
Coulanges progresses to discuss the physical city. This is swiftly followed by examples of customs and morals that defined interpersonal and familial life; marriage; adoption; rights of property and assets to name but some. How a town would grow in size, what amenities and institutions would appear, and how religion so greatly impacted the citizen's life.
Governance, through edicts, criminal and civil law, and the ruling council of a given city is examined.
