Agora (Marketplace)

The agora, or marketplace, in Athens is located below the Acropolis (where the temple of Athena was located) and also below the homicide court (the Areopagos) and the hill where the Assembly met, called the Pnyx. This second picture is on the hill where the homicide court met. Trials were held out in the open so anyone could see them. Homicide trials were truly public. Behind and below me is the marketplace (Agora).
