Corinth Monument: Punic Amphora Building
Collection:   Corinth
Type:   Monument
Name:   Punic Amphora Building
Description:   The Punic Amphora Building was a commercial establishment
located near a busy intersection of three roads.
Dating to the mid-5th century B.C., the building contained
many tons of fragments of transport amphorae of local
105
Corinthian types as well as imported Greek and non-Greek
types (figure 77). Of the imported amphorae, the former
came from Greek cities exporting excellent wine, and the
latter indicated that Corinth during this period was the hub
of trade of preserved fish from Spain.
