A survey of classical culture from the perspective of the First Amendment reveals, at Athens, valiant efforts to develop democratic institutions of assembly and speech, and, at Rome, a capacity for religious toleration that was one of the great strengths of the republic in spite of its oligarchic control of all areas of civic life. Of rights in any of these areas there were none. Of roots, however, there were some. After long centuries of fallow, these roots would prove fruitful in other times and places, for which the innovations of Greece and Rome helped prepare the way.
