ROMAN FORUM OF ATHENS: THE HEART OF ANCIENT TRADE AND CULTURE

#falladventures The Roman Forum of Athens, built during the late 1st century BCE, was the commercial and social hub of the city during Roman rule. Commissioned by Emperor Augustus, it replaced the older Classical Agora as the main marketplace. The site includes remarkable ruins such as the Gate of Athena Archegetis and the Tower of the Winds — an ancient clock and weather station. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into the blend of Greek and Roman architectural styles and the vibrant public life of ancient Athens.
