Roman marketplaces were called fora (plural) a forum in the singular. They were exactly what their name connotes, areas in a city where goods and services were bought and sold. There were the conventional shops which were in buildings and mostly on market days there could be open air set ups and many fora had a covered portico where merchant could set up and money changers or lawyers do business. The courts or judgements were given in the open air fora and political speeches were imposed on the shoppers.

∙ 13y agoIf you mean an ancient Roman marketplace, there was buying and selling, that's the purpose of a marketplace. But in ancient Rome there were also services to be contracted for in a forum, or marketplace. One could get a haircut, have some jewelry repaired, have a spare key to the wine cellar made, or receive or give a dinner invitation. The fora, or marketplaces, were hives of activity of all sorts.
