Description

This is the primary official guidebook to the website online of Ancient Corinth published by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in 50 years. Fully up to date with probably the most current information, color photos, and plans, this new edition of the guide to the archaeological website online of Corinth is an indispensable resource for the casual tourist or the pro archaeologist. Two large-scale maps provide an overview of the website online, and are keyed to discussions of the key monuments. The guide begins with a history of Corinth and its excavations, and continues with a tour within the fenced area of the website online, from the Temple of Apollo to the Bema to the Fountain of Peirene and more. The general section describes the monuments outdoor the fenced area, including the Odeion, the Theater, and the Asklepieion. Short bibliographic notes lead the reader to fuller descriptions of monuments, objects, and concepts. Interspersed between descriptions of the monuments are topographical notes and discussions of special topics such as the geology of the area, Pausanias’s description of the city, St. Paul’s visits, and prehistoric Corinth and the Corinthia.
