Inside; the temenos, a stele, evidence of burnt offerings, and an; offering table are indications of ritual, perhaps in honor; of a local hero. In the later 4th century B.C.,; the east end of the shrine was destroyed by the construction; of the South Stoa, but the use of the shrine continued in an; irregular shape, using the stoa wall as a new boundary,; until the end of the 3rd century B.C. or later.","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Forum | South Stoa west","","Monument","","","Corinth","South Stoa west","Corinth:Monument:South Stoa west","",""

No wall was considered necessary until the Late Roman period when a shorter circuit was constructed within the Classical enceinte. Timothy Gregory identified traces of massive masonry, including the so-called Epistyle Wall, as belonging to this Justinianic wall. His reconstruction shows a 5.3 kilometer enceinte (approximately a square of sides 1.5 by 1.3 kilometers) with the Roman forum at its center.  He considered it to date to the early 5th century. Another hypothesis, based on recent resistivity survey, is that the wall enclosed an area about one quarter of this area and left the Roman Forum outside to the west. This hypothesis suggests a mid-6th century date for the wall and explains how the Forum could have been used for later 6th century burial when the law prohibited burial within the walls.","","","Corinthia | Justinian's Wall","","Monument","","","Corinth","Justinian's Wall","Corinth:Monument:Justinian's Wall","",""

In its first phase, the temple had stone foundations, probably with a triple crepis measuring 44 x 23.5 meters, on which was constructed a limestone Doric temple with six columns across its facade. The temple enclosure was bounded by a wall to the west and by stoas on the north and south. It is dated to the early 1st century A.D., soon after the death of Augustus. ; In the late 1st century A. D. the temple was radically altered. The new building was built in the Corinthian order on a podium 3.4 meters high and was surrounded by a colonnade of 6 columns across the short sides and 12 along the long sides. The temple had a pronaos with two columns in antis and a long, narrow cella. The temple was completely enclosed by stoas during this phase. From Pausanias’s description, this temple appears to have been dedicated to Octavia, the sister of Augustus, although modern scholars have offered alternative suggestions.","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Temple E, Temenos | Temple E","","Monument","","","Corinth","Temple E","Corinth:Monument:Temple E","",""

Of two peristyle courts within the building, one featured an internal stream running inside the colonnade. Another room contained a long concrete pool. ; The house was decorated with wall paintings and one small room contained a crèche of small scale sculpture. Dating the building’s use is problematic because very little material culture was preserved on the floors under the destruction horizon. While the mosaics suggested a date in the 2nd century A.D., the use fill of a well dates to the late 3rd century. Since the well went out of use with the construction of the walls built over it, the mosaics and their architectural setting should be later. When the long concrete pool was poured, the foundations cut a large pit containing pottery dating to the Tetrarchic period, possibly even as late as Constantine (c.274–337 A.D.). Coins in the destruction debris suggest that it burnt down before the end of the same century.","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Panayia | Panayia Villa | Panaghia Villa","","Monument","","","Corinth","Panaghia Villa","Corinth:Monument:Panaghia Villa","",""
