Twelve Shops, six either side of a broad staircase ascending to the entrance of Temple E’s precinct, had vaulted chambers parts of which still survive. The Corinthian capitals of the colonnade in front of the shops were particularly ornate. On each, in place of some of the acanthus leaves were carved a mask, variously a griffon, winged lion, a siren and human faces. In the late 4th century an earthquake did sufficient damage to the colonnade that it had to be repaired. Three blocks preserve an inscription commemorating the patronage of the Emperors Valentinian and Valens who caused the repairs to be made. The inscription dates either to A.D. 364-75 or A.D. 375-8 depending whether or not it refers to Valentinan I or Valentinian II.","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Temple E, Temenos | West Shops","Corinth:Monument:West Shops","","","Corinth:Image:digital 2014 0853::/Corinth/Photos/digital/2014 season photos/2014_0853.jpg::0::0","","","Monument" "","Corinth","","West Terrace","The buildings in the west end of the Roman Forum date from the 1st and 2nd century A.D. In contrast to most temples of both the Greek and Roman periods in Greece, the temples each stood on a high podium constructed of rubble and cement. Originally they were clad with marble revetment and had a staircase ascending their east side. Each temple had a simple rectangular cella faced with columns supporting the roof only on their east side. The route followed by the travel-writer Pausanias (Travels II, 2, 8) at Corinth has been disputed but on the basis of recent archaeological evidence the monuments in this part of the Forum are now identified as follows: ; Temple F: Venus Genetrix. ; Temple G: Apollo of Klaros. ; Temple H: Built during the reign of Commodus and perhaps dedicated to Heracles. ; Temple J: Replaced the Fountain of Poseidon, dedicated by Cnaeus Babbius Philinus, during the reign of Commodus and was perhaps also dedicated to Poseidon.","","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Central Area | Forum | West Terrace","Corinth:Monument:West Terrace","","","Corinth:Drawing:120 001::/Corinth/Architectural_Plans/120_West_Terrace/120_001c.jpg::1800::927","","","Monument"
