View to the Roman forum courtyard in Athens.
The Roman Forum of Athens
The Roman Forum (or Agora) of Athens was constructed between 19 and 11 BCE as a new commercial center funded by Julius Caesar and Emperor Augustus. This ancient marketplace features a large open-air courtyard once surrounded by colonnades and shops, serving as a more structured and commercial successor to the older Classical Agora. Its most striking preserved structures include the monumental Gate of Athena Archegetis and the Tower of the Winds, which is considered the world's first meteorological station.
