The Ancient Greek City

What was it like to live in an Ancient Greek city? Did every city have an acropolis, or just Athens? How did people find their way around town? Learn here about the Ancient Greek town and city, particularly the typical plan—streets, precincts, walls and neighborhoods; why the streets, precincts, temples, and other buildings were sited where they were; the buildings, both sacred and public, typically found both inside and outside the walls and city limits.
