| Abstract: | This article considers the identification and attribution of the Temple E, one of the most important monuments of Roman Corinth. It argues against the present general identification of it as the temple of Octavia (referred to by Pausanias) and therefore a building dedicated to the Imperial cult. The evidence for the form, date and identity is reassessed. It involves a reexamination of the significance and relevance of the numismatic evidence cited in connection with it: a discussion of Octavia as a major recipient of cult and the worship of Jupiter Capitolinus at Corinth. It is argued, as a hypothesis for general consideration, that Temple E is the Capitolium of Corinth. | |
