An agora acted as a marketplace and a forum to the citizens of the polis. They arose along with the poleis after the fall of [[Mycenae]]an civilization, and were well established as a part of a city by the time of [[Homer]] (probably the [[8th century BC]]).

The most well-known agora is the [[Ancient Agora of Athens]].
