The story

Story · Roman Agora of Athens

  • en

You're standing at the Roman Agora, the marketplace the Romans built in Athens, just north of the Acropolis. First, find the four sturdy columns still carrying a piece of roof. That's the Gate of Athena Archegetis, once the western entrance to the square. An inscription on top says the people of Athens dedicated it to their patron goddess Athena, around 11 BC.
