Description
|
|
|
|
This influential survey, originally published in 1864 and hailed as a masterpiece of 19th-century French literature, synthesizes ancient documents and physical evidence to create a novel interpretation of the religious, family, and civic life of Periclean Athens and Rome during the time of Cicero. Bypassing the usual post-classical histories, Fustel de Coulanges builds a case for the importance of kinship and the cult of the family hearth and ancestors to ancient Hellenic and Latin urban culture.
