An Ancient Shopping Center : The Athenian Agora, Paperback / softback Book

An Ancient Shopping Center : The Athenian Agora Paperback / softback

Part of the Agora Picture Book series

Paperback / softback

Available to Order - This title is available to order, with delivery expected within 2 weeks

Description

As well as being a political centre, the Agora was the focus of a noisy and varied commercial life.

This booklet illustrates the archaeological, documentary and pictorial evidence for such diverse trades as shoe-making, fish mongering, weaving and the manufacture of luxury goods and perfumes.

Shopping was just one aspect of this public space: ancient Athenians would also have received medical treatment, been married and buried, made sacrifices, and received education in the Agora.

The material remains from all of these activities are also discussed.

Vivid illustrations and useful resources, such as a table of prices and coinage, bring the bustling marketplace to life.
