Today, a new piece of archaeological evidence has been uncovered in the form of a series of ancient inscriptions. The inscriptions, believed to date back to the 4th century BC, appear to be written in a form of ancient Greek and contain references to some of the earliest known anarchist movements. The inscriptions, which are written in a poetic form, describe a “filthy and immoral” group of people who were, in their own words, “totally free from the constraints of a state”. The inscriptions go on to suggest that this group of people were engaged in activities which sought to undermine the authority of the state, such as attacking temples, setting fire to public buildings, and disrupting the public order.

This new discovery provides us with our first glimpse into the world of ancient anarchism and how it was viewed by those around them. It is a fascinating reminder of the power of human freedom and the struggles that people have gone through in the pursuit of a better and more just society.
