This book discusses the history, topography, and urban development
of Corinth with special attention to civic and private religious
practices in the Roman colony. Expert analysis of the latest
archaeological data is coupled with consideration of what can be
known about the emergence and evolution of religions in Corinth.
Several scholars consider specific aspects of archaeological
evidence and ask how enhanced knowledge of such topics as burial
practice, water supply, and city planning strengthens our
understanding of religious identity and practice in the ancient
city. This volume seeks to gain insight into the nature of the
Greco-Roman city visited by Paul, and the ways in which
Christianity gradually emerged as the dominant religion. This is a
collaborative effort by scholars of archaeology, Greco-Roman
studies, and early Christian literature who met at Harvard
University in January 2002. It is the third in a series of volumes
on ancient cities utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to
understand urban life in ancient times. The earlier books are
Ephesos: Metropolis of Asia (1995)--now back in print--and
Pergamon: Citadel of the Gods (1998).
