No, the word ancient is an adjective and a noun:

  • The adjective ancient is a word to describe a noun as very old, or from a very long time ago (ancientphilosophers, ancient history).
  • The noun ancient is a word for an aged person, or the civilized peoples of ancient times (philosophy of the ancients).

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. The pronouns that take the place of the singular noun 'ancient' is he or she as a subject and him or her as an object. The pronouns that take the place of the plural 'ancients' is they as a subject and them as an object. Examples:

Many of the inventions of the ancients are still used today. They invented farming and irrigation, theyinvented written communication, and they invented many basic forms of building and engineering. We owe a lot to them.
