The problem with the Agora

The Agora is a mess. The most interesting-looking remains are post-5th century.

What to do?

Pick out a few key places, and tell a story as you visit each one.

Your selection?

My selection:

• Agora boundary stone, inscribed 'I am the boundary of the Agora'. Tell of the excavators unsure whether they had the right place...
• Tholos, where crockery was found marked 'State property'. Tell of the Boule.
• Notice board with statues of the Eponymous Heroes. Tell of young men awaiting call-up, litigants awaiting trial date.
• Cobbler's shop - with Socrates connection.
