Medieval
marketplaces and their descendants are still an important feature of today's
city landscape -- but for how much longer? Take a tour of open air marketplaces from
Roman to Medieval times. Find out about the different choices made by Emperors
and Popes to ensure food security through the centuries. The development of
marketplaces helped shape the city throughout the Roman, Renaissance and
Baroque periods. This tour is one of a two-part series on the role of food
security in the ancient and post-ancient world and the lessons we can learn from history;
part two will take us to Portus to inspect exciting new digs (special
permission).
