Athens - Roman Agora
|
|
The Roman Agora or market was laid out at the beginning of the Christian era immediately west of the Tower of the Winds, built some decades earlier. It was connected with the older Greek Agora to the west by a road which was discovered some years ago. While the Greek Agora grew and developed over the centuries, this later market was laid out on a unified plan within a rectangular area measuring 112 by 96m/365 by 315ft.
