Ancient Corinth and the Acrocorinth
A street in the Roman city of Corinth with the Acrocorinth, Upper Corinth, in the background. The paved street was lined with columns that supported a roof covering shops on both sides of the street. The walls of the shops are visible in both photos. On the left side of the street just out of view was a public toilet. On top of the mountain in the background, barely visible in the first photo, lay the Acropolis of Acrocorinth, a complex of temples. Paul spent a year and a half in Corinth and established a strong if contentious church there (Acts 18:1-18). It is possible that he revisited the city and spent an additional three moths there, but it is not certain (2 Cor 2:1, Acts 20:3). |
