But he also had plans to build on a massive scale and wanted to build a German city, called Germania, on a par with the glories of ancient Greece and Rome.

The Ancient Supercity of Athens


Today on Far Future Horizons we travel back in time to the age of classical antiquity to visit the Ancient Supercity of Athens.


In the 5th century BC, one man led his city to greatness and paved the way for western civilization. The city was Athens and Pericles was not a king or prince, but an elected ruler. He directed the most costly and ambitious construction campaign undertaken in the western world, creating a model city of temples, houses, market places, civic buildings, and a highly innovative sanitation system.
