Roman Forum
The forum is for the Romans in the public square where people gathered to haggle, deal with political or economic affairs. The first forum is that of Rome , the Forum Romanum (Roman Forum), dating from the time of the founding of the city.
During the territorial expansion of Rome, colonies were created in the image of the metropolis, with the same institutions and even urban planning. So each had its forum.
These forums were designed as architectural complexes for the rich, always with one or more temples, art galleries, many shops, school (sometimes) and sometimes a library.

Lexicology
According to Le Bon Usage de Greve, the term forum (in the ancient sense) was unchanged in the plural until recently, but the spelling with an s is becoming more common because the place where it was built in Rome was a vast swamp (the Cloaca Maxima ), cleaned by the Etruscans of Tarquin Old.
