It depends. The Romans had two types of fora (plural of forum): the forum civilium and the forum venalium. The former was the civic forum and the latter was the commercial forum, or market.
The forum civilium was the civic centre and the heart of a city. It had a comitia, a place where the popular assemblies met to vote, public speeches were made and public debates occurred. It had a senate house. Roman cities had their own local senate, modelled on the senate of the city of Rome. It had the courts were trials were conducted and administrative offices. It had public buildings (basilicas), shops, entertainments and important temples.
The forum civilium was the heart of political life. Political debates were held there and people also went there for political protests or agitations. It also was the heart of judicial life (trials were conducted there) and administrative life. Since many of the city's temples were there, it also played an important part of religious life. People would also just hang around and played Board Games outdoors.
A forum was a combination market place and civic center. Although in Rome itself the main forum evolved into strictly a civic center. In the forum people could get caught up on the latest news, hear speeches, attend an event at a temple or even find a lawyer. It was the core of the city, much like the "downtowns" of modern cities.
