    Overshadowed by its older neighbor, the Roman Agora played a vital role in Athenian commerce. This open-air square, surrounded by colonnades, served as the main marketplace during Roman rule. The Greek Agora, meaning "gathering place" in Greek, was the central hub of Athenian life. This bustling space wasn't just a marketplace, but a place for socializing, political discourse, and even athletic competitions.
