Early-20th-century explorations of the Roman Forum at Ancient
Corinth revealed a massive early imperial building now known as the
Julian Basilica. The structure stood on a podium over four meters
high, and it dominated the east end of the forum in size, aspect,
and function until its destruction in the 4th century A.D. Within
it was one of the largest known shrines to the imperial cult and
the likely site of the imperial court of law for the Roman province
of Achaia. The basilica housed 11 or more large-scale statues most
likely to members of the Julio-Claudian family (including Augustus,
Augustus's heirs Gaius and Lucius, and arguably Divus Iulius,
Germanicus, Nero Caesar, and Claudius), as well as an altar to
Divus Augustus and dedications to the genius Augusti, the gens
Augusta, and other family members. This richly illustrated volume
provides a contextual study of this important building, the remains
of which were first published by Saul Weinberg in 1960 (Corinth
I.5). Scotton treats the architectural remains, Vanderpool the
sculptural remains, and Roncaglia the epigraphical material, each
providing extensive catalogues with new photos, in addition to
color reconstructions of the basilica and its grand interior.
