Corinth Greece

Archeological site of ancient Corinth, Greece. The remains at Corinth show clearly a central forum/agora surrounded by shops and public buildings. The Bema seat remains in place in the forum - where Paul was persecuted by the local Jewish community and made to stand before the proconsole Gallio (Acts 18:12-17). Remains of temples are everywhere. At least 5 early Christian basilicas from later periods have ruins in this area. The Lechaion Way is an impressive road through ancient Corinth. Near the theater, there is an inscription in the paving stone stating that funds for the pavement were given by Erastus of Corinth which may well be the same Erastus mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:20.
