Ancient Agora. Athens. Greece. View of the remains of the Heliaia, a law court established by Solon in the 6th century BC in the Agora. It was titled after the Sun God Helios because it held its meetings before sunrise. The Agora from 600 BC onwards was the commercial and social centre of Ancient Athens. It was here that laws were written and displayed, commercial goods bought and sold, intellectual discussions were had, and the democratic spirited was born and nurtured.
