Pompeii Forum

The Pompeii Forum was the central public space in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, serving as the political, religious, and commercial hub. Surrounded by important government buildings, temples, and marketplaces, it was a bustling place where citizens gathered for civic activities, trade, and worship. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, the city was quickly buried in ash, preserving the Forum and other structures as a snapshot of Roman life. Today, it stands as a significant archaeological site, offering insights into ancient Roman society and urban planning.
