Forum Romanum
Around the middle of the second century BC, all of Greece had been swallowed up by the Roman Empire. And from the start, the Romans actively "romanised" the country in terms of political structure, architecture, and an extensive road building programme (for example the "Via Egnatia", connecting Rome with Thessaloniki). The Forum they built in Thessaloniki, or better say the remnants of it, can now be found about 5m below. Shown here is the bouleuterion, where the city or provincial council would meet (and it was a proper building with a roof, not an open air theatre). Leica M8, Voigtlaender 34/1.4.
