The painting may appropriately relate to Peirene as, according to one tradition, Peirene was Penelope’s aunt. ; The rectangular court, built in the first century A.D. measures approximately 32 m. by 23 m. and was surrounded by a marble Ionic colonnade set on a stylobate of Acrocorinth limestone. The colonnade was unpaved until it received a mosaic floor in the third century. An dedicatory inscription preserves only that part of the inscription that a member of the tribe Aemilia was the benefactor.","","","Peribolos of Apollo","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Lechaion Road Area | Peribolos of Apollo","","Corinth","Corinth:Monument:Peribolos of Apollo","","","Corinth:Image:slide 3567::/Corinth/Photos/slides/3000-3999/sl3567.jpg::1800::1177" "Monument","","","","Peribolos of Apollo ; Theater","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Peribolos of Apollo","","Corinth","Corinth:Monument:Peribolos of Apollo Theater","","","Corinth:Image:digital 2022 0316::/Corinth/Photos/digital/2022 season photos/2022_0316.jpg::2048::1463" "Monument","A Greek city in the northwestern Argolid (now in modern Corinthia, near Nemea), in the Peloponnese, said to be named after the Greek hero Phlias but formerly called Araethyrea.","","","Phlius","","","Corinthia | Phlius","","Corinth","Corinth:Monument:Phlius","","","Corinth:Image:bw 1968 002 09::/Corinth/Photos/negatives/year_roll/1968_002/1968_st_002_009.jpg::1800::1188" "Monument","A property named for the Pietri family.","","","Pietri","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Pietri","","Corinth","Corinth:Monument:Pietri","","","" "Monument","Located at the western edge of the walled area of Corinth, the Potters’ quarter was a complex of workshops and domestic quarters used by potters for three centuries from the seventh century until the fourth century B.C. Excavations produced wasters (accidentally melted ceramics) of pottery made from the white marl clay underlying the limestone bedrock. Moulds indicate that the potters also made figurines, painted plaques, and votive shields. Later excavators found two stelai shrines.","","","Potters' Quarter","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Ancient Corinth, West | Potters' Quarter | Potters' Quarter","","Corinth","Corinth:Monument:Potters' Quarter","","","Corinth:Image:slide 1076::/Corinth/Photos/slides/1000-1999/sl1076.jpg::1800::1217" "Monument","","","","Pottery profile drawings","","","Pottery profile drawings","","Corinth","Corinth:Monument:Pottery profile drawings","","","" "Monument","","","","Probably Shear Excavations Theater","","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Theater District | Theater | Probably Shear Excavations Theater","","Corinth","Corinth:Monument:Probably Shear Excavations Theater","","","" "Monument","Propylaia on the Lechaion Road: The Propylaia, the main entrance to the Forum, consisted of three archways: one main and two smaller ones.
