In ancient Greece an agora was a central meeting place to discuss affairs of state, where business was conducted and people could listen to philosophers. It later evolved into a marketplace where merchants and artisans would sell their wares. In modern times this has transformed into farmers markets and outdoor/street markets such as Portobello Road in London, England and the famous leather market in Florence, Italy. This piece by David Marlatt captures the various sights, sounds, and smells of a traveler wandering through an open air market in either ancient times or more modern.
