Communities are built at City Gates

Before there was a Roman Forum, there were the City Gates. Throughout antiquity, and especially in biblical times, community life happened at the city gates. It was a central place in city life, and we see its importance throughout the Bible in verses like:

“He appointed military officers over the people and assembled them before him in the square at the city gate and encouraged them with these words: Be strong and courageous. . . ”

2 Chronicles 32:5-6

“Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.”
…
“Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.”

Proverbs 31:23, 31
