Les villes de l’Antiquité n’étaient pas que des établissements urbains, c’était aussi le cœur de petits États que l’on appelle des cités-États. Une petite partie de ses habitants – pas tous, loin de là – étaient aussi des citoyens, qui disposaient de droits et de devoirs particuliers. Mais la citoyenneté en Grèce ancienne, en particulier, s’étendait également à des manières d’être et de se comporter, qui variaient d’une cité à l’autre et évoluaient avec le temps. D’un simple coup d’œil, il était donc possible de distinguer dans la foule anonyme qui était citoyen et qui ne l’était pas.

The ancient cities were not only towns or urban settlements, they were also the heart of small states called city-states. A small part of its inhabitants – not all of them, indeed, far from it – were also citizens, with special rights and duties. But citizenship in ancient Greece also extended to lifestyles and behaviours, which varied from one city to another and evolved over time. At the first sight, it was therefore possible to distinguish in the crowd who was a citizen and who was not.
