It consisted of eight Corinthian columns arranged in a circle supporting an epistyle and a conical roof. It was erected on a high concrete podium originally clad with marble revetment. The epistyle bears an inscription in Latin which reads “Cnaeus Babbius Philinus, aedile, pontifex, undertook the construction at his own expense, and the same, as duovir, approved it.” Babbius Philinus was a rich freedman of Greek descent who served as a local official in the region. The same individual also built the Fountain of Poseidon. The fountain was replaced by Temple J, perhaps also dedicated to Poseidon, during the reign of Commodus.","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Forum | West Terrace | Babbius Monument","","Corinth:Image:digital 2014 0859::/Corinth/Photos/digital/2014 season photos/2014_0859.jpg::0::0","Corinth","","","Babbius Monument","Monument","" "","Corinth:Monument:Baths of Aphrodite","This was the name given, from the 19th century on, to a spring and cave in the former pleasure garden of the Ottoman Beys’ palace. It is located due north of the Forum on the line of the Lechaion Road and is at the head of a deep indentation of the high natural terrace. The garden embraced the entire indentation and was connected with the terrace above by a surviving monumental staircase. The torus molding of the stair’s outer wall suggests it was built during the period Venetian rule from 1687-1715 when the Governor’s residence stood site later occupied by the Beys’ palace.","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Ancient Corinth, North | Baths of Aphrodite","","Corinth:Drawing:223 001::/Corinth/Architectural_Plans/223_Bath_of_Aphrodite/223_001b.jpg::1414::1800","Corinth","","","Baths of Aphrodite","Monument","" "","Corinth:Monument:Baths of Eurykles","Pausanias calls a bath beyond Peirene on the Lechaion Road the most famous of the many baths in Corinth. Near the entrance stood statues of Poseidon, Leucothea, Palaimon on a dolphin and Artemis hunting. It was built by a member of the rich Laconian Euryclid clan. The walls were covered with revetment of different colored stones including Lapis Lacedaimonius from the family quarries at Croceae in Laconia. These baths were built in the Early Imperial period with extensive remodeling in the third quarter of the 1st century A.D. and, probably, in the 2nd century A.D. They went out of use in the second half of the 2nd century A.D.; The Euryclids rose to prominence after the battle of Actium and the last of the line seems to have died in the early 2nd century. The remains of a large bath structure excavated on the east side of the Lechaion road have been identified with this building.","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Lechaion Road Area | Baths of Eurykles","","Corinth:Image:digital 2014 0877::/Corinth/Photos/digital/2014 season photos/2014_0877.jpg::0::0","Corinth","","","Baths of Eurykles","Monument","" "","Corinth:Monument:Baths of Hadrian","The masonary ruins of this bath stand several meters above ground to the north of the theater.","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Theater District | Baths of Hadrian","","Corinth:Drawing:166 001::/Corinth/Architectural_Plans/166_Baths_of_Hadrian/166_001.jpg::1800::1384","Corinth","","","Baths of Hadrian","Monument","" "","Corinth:Monument:Bema","The Bema was a complex marble structure dating from the middle of the 1st century A.D. which dominated the face of the terrace of the Upper Forum at Corinth. It took the form of an open propylon with a Π-shaped ground plan, which stood on a rectangular pedestal measuring 15.6 x 7.2 m. This pedestal had a crepis with two steps and on the north projected 3.00 m. above the level of the Lower Forum. Its superstructure consisted of eight pillars, the three central intervals between which were open while the two pairs at each end were blocked with walls and benches. The pedestal was flanked by two unroofed rooms (exedras) that had benches on two of their three sides. In addition to these rooms, there were marble staircases communicating between the Lower and Upper Forum. ; The Bema was the venue for public ceremonies, from which the assembled citizens were addressed by the proconsul of Corinth. It is thought to have corresponded to the Bema mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles: the Apostle Paul was brought to the Bema by the elders of Corinth’s synagogue, who accused him of subversive teaching against the Mosaic law. The proconsul Gallio, however, judged that the teaching did not constitute an offence against Roman law. ; In the Byzantine period, a Christian church with at least two phases was built on the site and ruins of the Bema. The second phase was a three-aisled basilica (11th-12th century). On both sides of the Bema were the main shops of the Forum, the remains of which can still be seen by modern visitors.","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Forum | Central Shops | Bema","","Corinth:Image:digital 2014 0867::/Corinth/Photos/digital/2014 season photos/2014_0867.jpg::0::0","Corinth","","","Bema","Monument","" "","Corinth:Monument:Bema, Schola","","","","Bema, Schola","","","Corinth","","","Bema, Schola","Monument","" "","Corinth:Monument:Building II","One of four classical buildings south of the race course.","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Building II","","Corinth:Image:digital 2014 0864::/Corinth/Photos/digital/2014 season photos/2014_0864.jpg::0::0","Corinth","","","Building II","Monument",""
