Greco-Roman cities

Greco-Roman cities were urban centers in ancient Greece and Rome characterized by sophisticated planning, architecture, and public spaces. Typically featuring a grid layout, they included important sites like the agora (marketplace) and the forum (public square) for social and political activities. Buildings such as temples, theaters, and baths showcased advanced engineering and cultural values. These cities were hubs of commerce, governance, and community life, reflecting the interconnectedness of culture and daily living in ancient times, influencing urban development in subsequent civilizations. Their legacy continues to shape modern urban planning and architecture.
