TürkiyeThe Agora of Smyrna is an ancient Roman agora located in modern İzmir, Turkey. Originally constructed by Greeks in the 4th century BC [1]. The agora was destroyed by a catastrophic earthquake in 178 AD [1], after which Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius ordered its reconstruction [1]. Systematic archaeological excavations began in 1933 [1]. In 2020, the Agora of Smyrna was inscribed on Turkey's Tentative World Heritage List as part of "The Historical Port City of Izmir." [1]
