The Ancient City With a short biography ofWith this influential study, French historian Numa Denis Fustel de Coulanges initiated a new approach to Greek and Roman city organization. Fustel de Coulanges' 1864 masterpiece, La Cit antique, drew upon physical evidence as well as ancient documents rather than the usual post Classical histories.
