The Ancient City is Fustel de Coulanges' superb investigation of
life and living during classical antiquity; a culture he felt
rested and flourished upon religious observance. This fascinating
history offers the reader an idea of how day-to-day life in Ancient
Rome and Greece evolved and was sustained for centuries. Coulanges
covers each major topic in sequence, beginning with the crucial
assertion that religion what was held classical life together. 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. Coulanges progresses to
discuss the physical city. 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.
