City Center, ca. A.D. 150

This image shows the location and organization of the major public, civic and religious buildings of the center of Roman Corinth, ca. A.D. 150. The building plan is based on the drawing by C.K. Williams, II, Hesperia 56, 1987, fig. 1, and represents the results of fieldwork, study and publication of Williams and the Corinth Excavations over many years. The building plan has been supplemented by the results of the architectural survey of the buildings and monuments of the ancient city by the Corinth Computer Project that relates to their location and orientation and the resulting Roman city grid (1 actus wide insulae).

The religious buildings are colored magenta, the markets are yellow, the springs and fountains are blue and the places of assembly are cyan. Green generally represents civic and political buildings and structures. Monumental arches are colored in red. The grid of the Roman city is seen in grey and the principle north-south street of the Roman city, the cardo maximus, is seen entering the forum from the north and exiting the South Stoa to the south.

Click on the buildings on the above city plan, or on the links below, for detailed summaries of the structures, digitized actual-state plans, photographs, ancient testimonia, and bibliographical information. A photographic panorama in Quick TimeŽ movie format has also been created to show the visitor the forum as it exists today.
