Captives Facade, Corinth, Greece

A general view of the Captives Facade, on April 16, 2007 in Corinth, Greece. The Captives Facade, an entrance to the Basilica, seen here in the early morning light, was named after the statues of Barbarians which supported the upper floor. It was built c. 160-70 AD, using materials from the Augustan period. The two remaining sculptures are now in the Corinth Museum. Corinth, founded in Neolithic times, was a major Ancient Greek city, until it was razed by the Romans in 146 BC
