La piraterie dans l'antiquité
by Jules M. Sestier
About the author
Jules M. Sestier was a French author and historian. The Bibliothèque nationale de France lists him as a French writer, though the exact years of his birth and death are not clearly given there.
His known works include La piraterie dans l'antiquité from 1880, along with books on the Graisivaudan valley and regional history such as Le tramway Grenoble-Chapareillan et la vallée du Graisivaudan, rive droite de l'Isère and La vallée du Graisivaudan, rive gauche de l'Isère et région d'Allevard.
From the surviving record, he appears to have been especially drawn to maritime subjects, local history, and the way places carry the memory of earlier centuries. Even in a brief catalog of his work, that mix of wide historical curiosity and close attention to region stands out.
