Lower Agora |
|
| |
|
|
| |
There are two other important gates into the agora
on the west and north. The western gate was ornately
decorated and had many columns. There is no
information about the other gate.
The agora was 111 m one each side, built first in the 3rd century BC. Its
final form being given in the time of the emperor
Caracalla (211-217 AD). Finds from the agora were
unearthed 2.5 m below the present surface of the
area.
Outside the agora on the north side was an area with small, vaulted shops
on three sides. Those on the south and east sides
were two-story. There were also two rows of columns
in front of the shops. |
