Morning light slices across weathered marble as visitors step through the Gate of Athena Archegetis into the Roman Agora, Athens’ compact forum of markets, magistrates, and public life. Stones underfoot still remember footsteps from both Greek and Roman days; columns lean like old witnesses and the Tower of the Winds stands with the quiet confidence of an ancient instrument reading sun and shadow.
