Roman Agora
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "about".
The Roman Agora (Template:Langx) is a ruined agora in Athens built in the Roman era to the east of the Ancient Agora and the north of the Acropolis.
History
The Roman Agora was built around 100 metres east of the original agora by Eucles of Marathon between 27 BC and 17 BC (or possibly in 10 BC),[1] using funds donated by Augustus, in fulfilment of a promise originally made by Julius Caesar in 51 BC.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. The Roman Agora has not today been fully excavated, but is known to have been an open space surrounded by a peristyle. To its south was a fountain. To its west, behind a marble colonnade, were shops and a Doric propylon (entrance), the Gate of Athena Archegetis. To its east was an Ionic gate, the East Propylon,[2] next to the Tower of the Winds and a set of "vespasianae" (public toilets). An inscription records the existence of an Agoranomion (an office for market officials), while another, set on the propylon of Athena Archegetis records a decree from Hadrian's reign regarding the tax obligations of oil merchants.[3]
