In Rome a market place was a forum; in Greece it was an agora.
Forum is the name for an ancient Roman market. In some of the smaller towns the forum was also a civic center. The main forum in the city of Rome itself, the Forum Romanum, evolved exclusively into a civic center.
An ancient market is a place where goods are bought and sold. In Greece it was called an agora and in Rome it was called a forum.
There is no modern equivalent. The forum was a civic and religious centre where the town senate house, the assembly point for voting, the administrative offices, the courts and m,any of the temples were located. In small towns the forum also hosted the marker. In the city of Rome the civil centre (forum civilium) and the market centre (forum venalium) were separate. The forum Magnum (or Romans forum is a modern term) was the forum civilium. The fora venalia (plural of forum venalum) were: the Forum Boarium (cattle market) the Forum Suarium (meat market) the Forum Piscarium (fish market) the Forum Holitorium (vegetable market) the Forum Vinarium (wine market) the Forum Pistorium (bakers' market) and the Forum Cuppedinis (delicatessen market).
A forum was a market place. There were many fora in ancient Rome, some being specialized in the items they sold, others being general shopping malls. The main forum, the Forum Romanum, although originally a general market place, evolved into the city's civic center. However there were still "high end" shops either in it or in the streets adjacent to it. It was used for public announcements, politicians' speeches, and the posting of the senate's activities. Many business deals were carried out there also. It was the "downtown" of ancient Rome.
