English Translation
The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of the ancient civilization.
Does “la civilisation antique” refer to one specific ancient civilization, or to ancient civilizations in general?
To me it sounds like either the greeks or the romans. But then again, it could just be that antique could be any ancient civilisation, and because usually people speaking french are in countries with some degree of greek or roman influence, we default to that…
Edit:
Well, according to the wikipedia article, it does seem to be any old civilisation.
So the sentence is probably referring to a specific previously mentioned civilisation
