The Agora of Cyrene was the main central public square of the ancient Greek city of Cyrene. It was the athletic, artistic, mercantile, political and spiritual center of the city.
History
In 47 BCE, the Medjay, Bayek of Siwa came to Cyrene searching for the Roman proconsul and leader of the Order of the Ancients, Flavius Metellus. On the way there, he met a Greek woman named Praxilla, who he helped. She advised him to meet with a man named Diocles in the Agora to discuss more about Flavius. On reaching the city and the Agora, Diocles was arguing with a citizen about the corrupt magistrate of Cyrene, Leander. Bayek approached him and explained his reasons for coming. Diocles instructed Bayek that Flavius ruled from the city Akropolis, which was surrounded by Roman soldiers. As he made his way through the Agora, Bayek encountered several orators spewing the Order of the Ancients' doctrine, which he spurned before going to kill Flavius.
At some point after he killed Flavius, Bayek met with a smuggler named Sminthos, known by his moniker, "Mouse", whom he helped on more than one occasion.
