Roman Agora
Roman Agora in Athens, Greece, with the Church of Panagia Grigorousa visible in the background. The Roman Agora was a public square built during the Roman era, serving as the central market and a significant meeting point in ancient Athens. Its construction was funded by Julius Caesar and Emperor Augustus in the late 1st century BC/early 1st century AD. Located to the east of the Ancient Agora and north of the Acropolis, the Roman Agora is found in the charming neighborhood of Plaka. Notable features of the Roman Agora include the Gate of Athena Archegetis, a Doric propylon on the west side, and the remains of public latrines
