## Image Caption

The present structures in New Smyrna's [agora](https://www.worldhistory.org/agora/) date from after 178 CE when an [earthquake](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/earthquake/) destroyed the earlier agora. This was not mainly a commercial agora, but rather functioned for stately matters. This lower level had many different functions. The entire agora is multiple levels so some parts were shops, some areas were [aqueducts](https://www.worldhistory.org/aqueduct/) (as pictured here), and passageways to the street below.
