Answer 4 out of 5 questions correctly.
A market is a way for buyers and sellers to come together to exchange goods and services. Markets have been part of civilization for thousands of years. Read the descriptions of different examples of markets. Then follow the instructions below.
| Trajan's Market | Trajan's Market was established around 100 CE in Rome. It had many buildings with shops on four levels. |
| Trade fair | These traveling markets were held in the Middle Ages (400﹘1400 CE) in Europe. They were set up in different towns, often close to castles, and used entertainment such as jugglers, magicians, and dancing bears to attract people to trade. |
| Grand Bazaar | The Grand Bazaar in Turkey was established in 1455 CE. It is organized in a long strip and it is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world. |
| Floating market | Beginning in the mid-1300s in Thailand, goods were sold from boats. Thick jungles made traveling by foot hard, so water transportation was important to daily life. |
Match each market with the correct image.
