Where to buy Everything The main place to buy pretty anything was at the Forums. There were many forums all over Rome. Each forum specialized in a different item Food, clothing, and everyday items. The people that ran the stores inside the forums were called merchants. Over 100 stores would be in one forum. Merchants were evryday people like you and me. They lived in apartment type buildings and and wore togas. Merchants rarly had time to do other things like going to the colosseum or bathing in the bath-house because they pretty much worked 24/7. At nights on weekends any time they had a chance to be open they took it.



Today there are still merchants all around the world. When I went to China, there was a forum type thing. There were hundreds of stores that all specialized in fabrics. They had tons of clothing, scarfs and personal fabrics that you could pick what you wanted it for and they made it for you.
