Numa Denis Fustel de Coulanges (18 March 1830 - 12 September 1889) was a
French historian. ... His minute knowledge of the language of the Greek and
Roman institutions, coupled with his low estimate of the conclusions of
contemporary scholars, led him to go direct to the original texts, which he
read without political or religious bias. ... It was at Strasbourg that he
published his remarkable volume La Cité antique (1864), in which he showed
forcibly the part played by religion in the political and social evolution
of Greece and Rome. ...
