On the Agora traces the evolution of the main public square of the
Greek polis for the six centuries from the death of Alexander the
Great in 323 BC to the height of the Roman Empire and the Herulian
invasion of Greece in 267 AD. Drawing on literary, epigraphic and,
especially, archaeological evidence, the book takes a comparative
approach to consider how the layout and function of agoras in
cities throughout Greece changed during centuries that witnessed
far reaching transformations in culture, society and political
life. The book challenges the popular view of the post-Classical
agora as characterised by decline, makes important arguments about
how we use evidence to understand ancient public spaces and
proposes many new interpretations of individual sites.
