The hadrianic aqueduct in Corinth
Επιτομή
The Hadrianic aqueduct of Corinth, bringing water from Stymphalos, was one of the largest works of engineering conducted in Greece during Roman times. Its course as well as its construction and other technical details had been studied by the undersigned in the past. That investigation was able to follow the line of the aqueduct as far as the western outskirts of Corinth but not within the city proper. This paper precisely discusses the course and final destination of the aqueduct within the city. Thanks to recent fieldwork we were able to map traces of the aqueduct on the slopes of Acrocorinth, and consequently narrow down the area where the main water reservoir should be sought. In addition, we discuss some other water channels known from this area and whether they could belong to the Hadrianic line or not. Finally we address the subject of the final recipients of the Stymphalian water, namely the fountains and the public baths. © Archaeopress and the authors 2018.
