Temple E, Corinth, Greece

A detail of Temple E, on April 16, 2007 in Corinth, Greece. Origonally built during the early Augustan period, 1st century BC, Temple E was rebuilt after the earthquake of 77 AD. These three fine Corinthian capitals and columns, two of which have been reconstructed, are seen in the early morning light. Corinth, founded in Neolithic times, was a major Ancient Greek city, until it was razed by the Romans in 146 BC. Rebuilt a century later it was destroyed by an earthquake in Byzantine times.
