Corinth was an important city in Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman times due to its geographical location, its trading power, its naval fleet, its participation in various wars, and its status as a major Roman colony.
The site today, first excavated in 1892, is dominated by the Temple of Apollo (c. 550-530 BCE). The majority of the other surviving buildings date from the 1st century CE in the Roman era and include a large forum, a temple to Octavia, baths, the Bema where St. Paul addressed the Corinthians, the Asklepeion temple to Asklepios, and a centre of healing, fountains - including the monumental Peirine fountain complex (2nd century) - a propylaea, theatre, odeion, gymnasium, and stoas. There are also the remains of three basilicas.
Archaeological finds at the site include many fine mosaics - notably the Dionysos mosaic - Greek and Roman sculpture - including an impressive number of busts of Roman rulers - and outstanding examples of all the styles of Greek pottery, the first source of the city’s fame in the ancient world.
