Question

Some cities like Cyrene and Tarentum would lay their oikestes to rest and establish their cults at these locations. Pausanias’ description of this type of location at Elis depicts its “archaic” style which contrasts with the more modern “ionic” style (-5[2])in its portico placement. In a literary ekphrasis, two gold bars are laid before elders who take up staves to speak while sitting on the stone circle, which characterizes these locations. (-5[1])In one city, (-5[1])distances were measured in relation to this location’s Altar (15[1])of the (-5[1])(*) Twelve Gods. (-5[2])The Stoa of (-5[1])Attalos (-5[2])is located within this type of location (-5[2])where the (10[1])Hephaesteion (-5[2])sits (-5[1])below (-5[1])the Acropolis. (10[1]-5[3])The Roman (-5[1])forum (10[1]-5[1])derived (-5[1])from these (-5[1])locations (10[3]-5[2])where free (10[1]-5[1])Athenians (10[1])acted as (10[1])jurors. (10[2]-5[1])For 10 points, markets characterized what social (10[1])and political (10[1])center of (10[1])the (10[1])polis? (10[5]) (10[14]0[11])■END■

ANSWER: agora [or agorá; prompt on forum and markets; prompt on public square or town square or public spaces] (Cyrene buried Battas in their agora, legend has it that Phalanthes’s ashes were scattered at Tarentum; the literary ekphrasis is from the Illiad.)
