3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Market-place
   any place of public resort, and hence a public place or broad
   street (Matt. 11:16; 20:3), as well as a forum or market-place
   proper, where goods were exposed for sale, and where public
   assemblies and trials were held (Acts 16:19; 17:17). This word
   occurs in the Old Testament only in Ezek. 27:13.
   
     In early times markets were held at the gates of cities, where
   commodities were exposed for sale (2 Kings 7:18). In large towns
   the sale of particular articles seems to have been confined to
   certain streets, as we may infer from such expressions as "the
   bakers' street" (Jer. 37:21), and from the circumstance that in
   the time of Josephus the valley between Mounts Zion and Moriah
   was called the Tyropoeon or the "valley of the cheesemakers."
