I am not sure about the Romans but I can tell you that in present days NW Romania we have different market days in cities like in my town the market is on Friday, the biggest town in the area is on Saturday, other nearby town on Tuesday and so on. The most of the stands you can find in all this markets, so they will be traveling around. Sure that really BIG town would have a daily market or at least more day in the "week", 8 days would somehow be illogical to me, is much easier to think hmm today is Friday tomorrow will be market day than well today is Friday hmm last week the market was on Tuesday means that market is today.
Cheers
