The frigidarium contained two baptisteria (tubs), while the cruciform caldarium had two warm baptisteria supplied with water through lead pipes. The water was fed from a tank to the west, heated by a testudo (literally a “tortoise” but in this context a bronze device for maintaining the heat of the water). The tepidarium and caldarium both had hypocausts supported by andesite pilae. The Panayia bath dates to the mid-6th century A.D.",""
"Corinth:Monument:Panayia Long Wall Building","","","","Corinth","Panayia Long Wall Building","Monument","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Panayia | Panayia Long Wall Building","","","Another structure to the south of the Panayia bath bears no relation to it except that the two buildings border a common parcel of land. Little is known about the function of the so-called “Long Building” because the limits of the property have precluded fuller exploration. It extends almost 50 meters east–west on the same orientation as the bath and had basement rooms to the east but not to the west. Its construction is similar to that of the bath and to judge from the fill of robbing trenches from which its fabric largely derived, and which its wall foundations physically cut, the “Long Building” also dates to the 6th century A.D. Inside one of the basement rooms the plasterer has incised fish with his trowel. Outside along the face of the wall are several burials post-dating its construction including adult tile graves and the remains of new-born infants, each placed within an amphora of the Gaza type.",""

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.",""
"Corinth:Monument:Peirene","","","","Corinth","Peirene","Monument","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Lechaion Road Area | Peirene","Corinth:Image:bw  0059b::/Corinth/Photos/negatives/0001-0999/0059_gp.jpg::1800::1350","","Peirene is an important center of symbolism and tradition in the urban landscape of both Greek and Roman Corinth. ; Human activity is attested in the area from the Neolithic period, and the first efforts in water management date to the Geometric period. The facility was gradually embellished from the Archaic period onward, so that by the 2nd century B.C. it consisted of six chambers providing access to three deep draw basins. These were supplied with water from four huge reservoirs through conduits excavated hundreds of meters back under the forum.; Peirene probably suffered little in the attack on Corinth by the Roman general Mummius, and was one of the first structures rebuilt in Corinth. From the early Roman period, the facade had Doric half-columns between the arches which frame the old antechambers. The second story here was probably a solid wall with engaged Ionic half-columns. The sunken rectangle at the center is a draw basin accessed by a short broad stair. Waterspouts in the sides were served by large conduits running under the courtyard floor. ; Following the partial destruction of the earlier phase, perhaps by earthquake, the east and west apses were added in Late Antiquity and the reused marble columns and their decorative “outlookers” in front of the facade are Byzantine additions. In later centuries, the ground level rose and the court was occupied by a small chapel and cemetery. Even after the fountain and courtyard were completely buried, the spring continued to provide water for the village fountains and numerous wells.; Myth records two origins for the spring. In one Poseidon’s lover Peirene literally dissolved into tears when Artemis accidentally killed her son Cenchrias. The other attributes its creation to the hoof print of the winged horse Pegasus when he stamped in irritation after being bridled by Bellerophon.",""
