In the course of excavating the channel several Roman tombs were found at the edge of the lower of the two terraces on which Ancient Corinth stood. The American School was invited to dig the seven chamber tombs and about 65 individual graves found. Their dates range from the late 1st century B.C. to the 6th century A.D.","","Monument","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Ancient Corinth, North | Irrigation Channel Excavations","Corinth","" "Corinth:Monument:Isthmia","","","Isthmia","","","","Corinth:Image:bw 3349::/Corinth/Photos/negatives/3000-3999/3349_gp.jpg::1800::1338","","","Monument","Corinthia | Isthmia","Corinth","" "Corinth:Monument:Julian Basilica","","","Julian Basilica","","","","Corinth:Image:digital 2014 0870::/Corinth/Photos/digital/2014 season photos/2014_0870.jpg::0::0","The Julian Basilica closes the east end of the Roman forum. It was a two story structure with cryptoporticus below and a peristyle hall above. The basilica was built in the early years of the 1st century A.D. of locally quarried oolitic limestone. Statues of the Julio-Claudian family were displayed within the building, including the Emperor Augustus, his grandsons Gaius and Lucius (who died in A.D. 2 and A.D. 5 respectively) and Nero. It probably served as a law court and perhaps was the seat of Imperial Cult.; During the mid-1st century the interior was redecorated with marble revetment, some of which, including part of an inscription referring to its placement, was reused in renovations in the Antonine period. The remains of the basilica were finally reused in a wall immediately to the east.","","Monument","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Forum | Julian Basilica | Julian Basilica","Corinth","" "Corinth:Monument:Julian Basilica and South Basilica","","","Julian Basilica and South Basilica","","","","","","","Monument","Julian Basilica and South Basilica","Corinth","" "Corinth:Monument:Justinian's Wall","","","Justinian's Wall","","","","Corinth:Image:bw 2737::/Corinth/Photos/negatives/2000-2999/2737_gp.jpg::1800::1434","In 146 B.C. the Roman general Mummius reduced the walls of Corinth to make them unusable for defensive purposes. No wall was considered necessary until the Late Roman period when a shorter circuit was constructed within the Classical enceinte. Timothy Gregory identified traces of massive masonry, including the so-called Epistyle Wall, as belonging to this Justinianic wall. His reconstruction shows a 5.3 kilometer enceinte (approximately a square of sides 1.5 by 1.3 kilometers) with the Roman forum at its center. He considered it to date to the early 5th century. Another hypothesis, based on recent resistivity survey, is that the wall enclosed an area about one quarter of this area and left the Roman Forum outside to the west. This hypothesis suggests a mid-6th century date for the wall and explains how the Forum could have been used for later 6th century burial when the law prohibited burial within the walls.","","Monument","Corinthia | Justinian's Wall","Corinth","" "Corinth:Monument:Kenchrea Basilica","","","Kenchrea Basilica","","","","Corinth:Drawing:320 002::/Corinth/Architectural_Plans/320_Kenchreae/320_002.jpg::1800::1239","","","Monument","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Ancient Corinth, East | Kenchrea Basilica","Corinth","" "Corinth:Monument:Kenchreai","","","Kenchreai","","","","Corinth:Image:bw 7970::/Corinth/Photos/negatives/5000-9999/7970_sh.jpg::1763::1800","","","Monument","Kenchreai","Corinth",""
