Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

The central marketplace in Bovianum, located just outside the Samnite Forum. The square is bustling with traders, farmers, and artisans selling a variety of goods, including weapons, pottery, grain, and textiles. It serves as a vital hub for the city’s economy, promoting trade and recruitment for the military. Local alliances are forged here, while military resources like weapons and armor are in high demand.

A vibrant open square filled with colorful vendor stalls draped in textiles, lively crowds bustling about with baskets in hand, and the rich aroma of fresh produce mingling with the clang of metal from nearby blacksmiths, all beneath a bright sun cast over terracotta rooftops.
