What Makes a City

Augustine, Sermons 397.6 (Mary Vianney O'Reilly, ed., Sancti Aurelii Augustini De Excidio Urbis Romae Sermo [Washington: The Catholic University of America Press, 1955], p. 66; tr. Edmund Hill):
Or do you suppose, brothers and sisters, that what counts as a city is walls, and not citizens?

An putatis, fratres, civitatem in parietibus et non in civibus deputandam?
