In its earliest phase the supply of spring water was enhanced by tunneling horizontally into the plateau to trap other ground water to supply a Classical bath house. ; In the Roman period the area was reshaped to create a court resembling the Peirene fountain. The rectangular walled space, oriented northeast to southwest, has a broad apse on its northeast side. The enclosed area contains a large pool with a central plinth and steps down into it at two of the corners. On the southeast side are a series of chambers with watery associations. Several inscriptions were found which commemorate athletic the events of Corinth and the Isthmia during the reigns of Tiberius and Nero. The main chamber of the bath contained the thousands of terracotta lamps dating to the 5th and 6th century which gave the fountain its modern name.","Corinth","","Monument","","","Gymnasium Fountain of Lamps","","",""
