    How to use "Auction" in context?

    The term auction can be traced back to the Old French word auctier, which was derived from the Latin word auctionem. The Roman auction hall was known as the aulaeum. Auctions were popular in ancient Greece and Rome and were used to sell off government property, natural resources, and even slaves. In medieval and early modern Europe, auctioneers were often called book peddlers because they walked the streets with a basket of auctioneer's books, which contained descriptions of items being auctioned off. auctions can be conducted in a number of ways, but the most popular method is sealed-bid auction.
