"","","The central focus of the Frankish area consists of a large open court with a colonnade of reused Roman columns. It is on a scale similar to what had once been considered the “Market Place” of the medieval city. This second large open area suggests that the assumption that the “Market Place” was the medieval functional successor to the Roman forum is perhaps an error. Instead of a medieval city laid out in the western European style with a single central place, Corinth followed a more Mediterranean plan with multiple plateias each acting as a focus of ecclesiastical and economic activity. If this is the case, then the excavated area is not the center of the medieval city but probably a part of the periphery.; To the north of the plaza is a simple, small church with a cloister on its north side. This is plausibly a monastic church. In a later phase it was also used as a cemetery church with the large majority of the interments located in a small room to the west of the narthex. The burials show a wide range of fascinating, often lethal pathologies such as evidence for trepanning, bone cancers, death caused by complications during childbirth and several individuals who suffered from Brucellosis (Meleteos). The monastery may well have had responsibilities for the care and treatment of the sick, old and infirm as well as women in labor. ; To the east of the Plaza is a complex with a large central court approached from the plaza by a narrow alley.","","","Temple E, Southeast","","Corinth:Monument:Temple E, Southeast","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Temple E, Temenos | Temple E, Southeast","Monument","","Corinth","Corinth:Image:slide  1336::/Corinth/Photos/slides/1000-1999/sl1336.jpg::1800::1183",""

"","","Standing 9 meters above the Forum, Temple E occupied as prominent a place in the Roman city as the Temple of Apollo. 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.","","","Temple E","","Corinth:Monument:Temple E","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Temple E, Temenos | Temple E","Monument","","Corinth","Corinth:Image:slide  0606::/Corinth/Photos/slides/0001-0999/sl0606.jpg::1800::1211",""

"","","The seven standing columns of the Archaic temple are one of the most prominent landmarks of Corinth. The dedication of the temple to Apollo is deduced from Pausanias’ description of Corinth combined with a small plaque which was dedicated to Apollo and found in the area. Built in the middle of the 6th century B.C. to replace a destroyed 7th century predecessor, the temple is of the Doric order and originally had six columns at each end and fifteen along each side. Indications of its Archaic date include the great length of the temple relative to its width, the large monolithic columns, and the squat, widely flaring capitals. ; Although most of this mid-6th century B.C. building has been destroyed, the bedrock preserves cuttings made to receive the foundation blocks and thus allows a reconstruction of the temple’s plan. The interior of the temple consists of a porch at either end and a long central part (the cella) divided into two rooms by a cross wall. The traditional reconstruction of the plan makes this cross wall a solid wall and provides access to the western room of the cella through the western door. Alternatively, the cross wall may have been pierced by a doorway, in which case the western room could have served as an inner shrine (an adyton). In any case, two rows of columns ran the length of the building within the interior. ; From the Archaic period, access to the hilltop was up a monumental staircase at the southeast corner of the hill. The Roman period, however, introduced many changes to the area. Access to the temple was now from the west. This change resulted from building activity on the other three sides of the hill which blocked off the earlier staircase and quarried into the sides of the hill. The Romans also carried out a radical renovation of the temple itself. The interior columns were removed and some of them were set up in a row near the west end of the South Stoa where they are still standing.","","","Temple of Apollo","","Corinth:Monument:Temple of Apollo","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Temple Hill | Temple of Apollo","Monument","","Corinth","Corinth:Image:slide  2660::/Corinth/Photos/slides/2000-2999/sl2660.jpg::1800::1201",""
