A walk through the Roman market
Step through the Gate of Athena Archegetis and picture the people who kept this market running. Merchants needed space to trade, officials needed a place to oversee the market, and visitors needed public facilities. Stops at the courtyard, the market officials’ office and even the public latrines trace the practical workings of Roman Athens.
The Tower of the Winds makes a good point to pause before continuing to nearby Hadrian’s Library. Reference pictures and short audio tracks help you locate the library’s courtyard and reading rooms among the surviving walls. Download both before you set out, then follow the GPS pins or choose individual stops as you walk.
