Pompeii Forum

The Pompeii Civil Forum was the core of daily life of the city and was the focal point of all the main public buildings for city administration and justice, business management, and trade activities such as markets. It also was the main places of citizen worship, a once-sophisticated Roman city.

It occupied quite a large area measuring 157 x 38 meters with a fine view of Mount Vesuvius – the ultimate source of the city’s destruction in 79 AD.
