It began in the Northern area and ended south on the central road (Decumanus) which went through the city. The northern side connected to the city wall towards the entrance to the harbour. Here there was a monumental entrance. On the eastern side there were shops. In the first half of the 2nd century BC, the building was extended toward the interior yard. The building was destroyed in an earthquake in 469 AD. </p><p>In the southern end of the market, there was a round building with a Roman dome and a workshop which produced pigments including <a href="/wiki/Egyptian_blue" title="Egyptian blue">Egyptian Blue</a>.
