(Short description)
The orthogonal city plan was adopted in the mid-fifth century BCE and implies a democratic constitution. Almost entirely excavated, Morgantina's large agora offers a detailed picture of the civic architecture of an early Hellenistic western Greek city. Ten major civic monuments and buildings are described; these include meeting places for the assembly and council, and three large stoas housing a law court, public offices, and a prytaneion. Several structures document new Greek building types, including a public bank and an agoranomion or headquarters of the agora supervisors.
