The Forum recap

What was the forum square used for? Meeting place Socialising Display of notices Auctions Market stalls Schools Shade Access Gathering for religious worship at the altar of Jupiter. Listening to speeches at the suggestum. Admiring the statues.

Explain why the central area of the forum was important in the life of an inhabitant in Pompeii.

Centre of information because of the notices at the base of statues. Trade – stalls selling varied goods. Political speeches made here. Weights and measures gave validity to standards of trade. Social area for business.

Explain why the forum and its buildings were laid out the way they were.

There was an open area which the buildings were situated around creating a focal point. All the town’s important buildings were together in this area so that people could access them conveniently. There was a colonnade around the edge which provided shade for the traders who set up stalls in the pedestrian area in the middle. Statues of prominent Romans were located here to celebrate them, informative notices were read.

Why was the forum an important social centre for the Pompeians?

If people wanted to know what was going on in the town they would look at the signs painted around the forum to see news and advertisements for future events. School took place in the colonnade. Place to meet friends/socialise. It was very important for socio-religious reasons because the main temples were there. Eg the Temple of Jupiter. The Temple of the Emperor was also there and all Romans were expected to pay their respects to the emperor. Processions and sacrifice would have taken place in the forum, at which people socialise and come together as a community. They could also support the well-being of Pompeii at the Temple of the Public Lares. Important figures had statues to emphasise their social status and inspire civic duty.
