Agora

The Marble Way, the Agora and the Library of CelsusOriginally built in the 1st century B.C. it was in the form of an open-air market­ place measuring 110 x 110 ill. Repaired by the Emperor Caracalla at the beginning of the 3rd century, it was reduced to more or less the state we see it in today by a great earthquake in the 4th century. The largest centre of commerce in the city, foodstuffs and all sorts of manufactured goods were bought and sold here. The shops were arranged along the colonnades and opened into vaulted storerooms at the back. A water clock and sundial were placed in the middle of the agora.
