The Ancient City, published in 1864, is the most famous book of the French historian Numa Denis Fustel de Coulanges. Based on texts of ancient historians and poets, the author investigates the origins of the most archaic institutions of Greek and Roman society. He warns of the bias that lies in examining the habits of past peoples by the standards of today. Join us as we explore this timely and provocative work through semi-monthly lunchtime meetings.
