Paul, your Roman collection is stunning, almost wish I had stayed with 20 mm.

Very reminiscent of Ostia Antico.

When I´ve got the How to finished it can be seen that to create the buildings in 28mm or whatever is totally possible..in fact, 28mm would probably be a lot easier.

Say, question if you don't mind. I'm used to thinking of Roman forums as purely the open space, perhaps with a centrepieces but not as an enclosed building. Your forum is more of a courtyard, which I guess is something that happened with smaller forums? In cases like that, what would the surrounding building house?

law courts and offices. The central area would be used for a market place

The ones shown in the link are Grand affairs compared to my lowley effort, which, if I´d built one along those lines it would have been massive. On a rough calculation, a copy of the one at Silchester, with attached basilica, would be a model of over 1m square. Law Court (Basilika) is planned, which I left off due to construction Problems but I could attach it later.

Beautiful thermae!

Really fabulous work on the town.

Fram, I think that enclosed fora are the norm in Roman towns.

This is the example from Leicester (where I live):

In the foreground is the forum (with its basilica and surrounding colonnaded shop-units) and in the background is the 'macellum', another market-complex, with the same general plan but no official functions.

I see Leicester has changed since the last time I visited
