History & Significance
Built between the 1st century BC and the 2nd century AD, the Roman Agora served as Athens' commercial marketplace once the older Ancient Agora had become primarily a civic and political space.
Its best-preserved structure, the Tower of the Winds, is an octagonal marble clocktower and weathervane considered one of the world's earliest meteorological instruments.
