Roman Forum
The Forum was built in the second century B.C. and is a collection of buildings. Not much remains, but it was enough for archaeologists to realize that this was a meeting place for important citizens of Thing.
In the stone mess, you can make walls and doors, as well as a series of supporting pillars. To the west is a Byzantine basilica, built, along with the adjacent cemetery, in the 6th century.
Next to the basilica, separated by a narrow street, are the remains of the curia and comitium.
The comitium was a gathering place for citizens. The curia was a smaller version of the Senate of Rome and was where the men who governed the city gathered. Some ruins of a temple, dedicated to Concordia, sit nearby.
The planning of the Forum is important because it says a lot about the mindset of the Romans. Not an organic collection of buildings, urban planning paid mind to both religious needs, especially that everything had to culminate around a temple, and needs state.
Of course, it is not exactly easier to distinguish the temple from the meeting place anymore, but the curators have included information panels to describe each building and the history behind it.
