The Agora is typically described as the central public square and marketplace of ancient Athens, but in reality it was much more than that. The open space used by sellers of goods and services was surrounded by public structures of varying size and architectural and decorative sophistication which served essential civic functions of administration, communication, commemoration, religious activity, and spatial organization. The virtual tour features approximately 40 sites and monuments ranging in date from about 500 to 150 BCE, as well as numerous inscriptions and sculptures. The notional date of the virtual tour is the year 100 BCE, at the end of Athens’ history as an independent city-state and before modification of the Agora under Roman rule. Like the other tour in the Athens Reborn series, the Acropolis, the virtual tour of the Agora was created with the collaboration of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. In fact, the contents of the tour are drawn mostly from the American School’s excavations in the Agora, which have been running since 1931.
