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. | |
