Late antique Corinth was on the frontline of the radical political,
economic and religious transformations that swept across the
Mediterranean world from the second to sixth centuries CE. A
strategic merchant city, it became a hugely important metropolis in
Roman Greece and, later, a key focal point for early Christianity.
In late antiquity, Corinthians recognised new Christian
authorities; adopted novel rites of civic celebration and
decoration; and destroyed, rebuilt and added to the city's ancient
landscape and monuments. Drawing on evidence from ancient literary
sources, extensive archaeological excavations and historical
records, Amelia Brown here surveys this period of urban
transformation, from the old Agora and temples to new churches and
fortifications. Influenced by the methodological advances of urban
studies, Brown demonstrates the many ways Corinthians responded to
internal and external pressures by building, demolishing and
repurposing urban public space, thus transforming Corinthian
society, civic identity and urban infrastructure. In a departure
from isolated textual and archaeological studies, she connects this
process to broader changes in metropolitan life, contributing to
the present understanding of urban experience in the late antique
Mediterranean.
