Corinth Publication: Oliver, Hesperia 70:3, 2001 Collection: | | Corinth | Name: | | Oliver, Hesperia 70:3, 2001 | Title: | | A Glass Opus Sectile Panel from Corinth | Author: | | Oliver, Andrew | Series Title: | | Hesperia | Volume: | | 70:3 | Month: | | July | Date: | | 2001 | Abstract: | | This paper describes a glass opus sectile panel excavated at Corinth in 1981. The building in which it was found is situated east of the theater and is one of a suite of structures thought to have been destroyed shortly before A.D. 300. The author explores the subject matter of the panel (four fish swimming within a border of interlaced, crossed squares) with respect to a broad range of Roman decorative arts, and suggests that the panel may originally have been intended as wall decoration. | Page: | | 349-363 | JSTOR: | | http://www.jstor.org/stable/3182066 | References: | | Image: digital 2014 11157
