Provenance Investigation of Three Marble Relief Sculptures from Ancient Corinth: New Evidence for the Circulation of the White Marble from Mani
Three unique marble relief sculptures of the Roman period from Ancient Corinth were studied using a variety of non‐invasive and minimal invasive techniques. The sculptures are of similar size, relief technique, and distinguished material compared to all other sculptures in Corinth. Thus, apart from the interest in identifying the origin of this distinct marble the question of whether they could belong to the same original monument is raised. To t…

The Corinth Amazon: Formation of a Roman Classical Sculpture
A statue found in the Corinth Theater represents a woman wearing a chitoniskos, cross-strap, belt, and high boots. Although the sculpture was first identified as Artemis, its identification is problematic because no other sculpture of the same type is known. Examination of its attributes suggests, rather, that it depicts an Amazon. The statue was also at first believed to be a copy of a Greek bronze of the second half of the fifth century, but cl…

A Classicizing Statue in Ancient Corinth
A large marble statuette found in Ancient Corinth resembles a number of draped female statues of the second half of the fifth century B. C. with respect to its pose, composition and drapery styles. These comparisons are discussed here. An analysis of the differences between fifth century originals and the Corinth piece leads to the suggestion of a date in the late first century B. C. for the latter. As the piece is of high quality and in an excel…

The Reliefs on the Theater of Dionysos in Athens
Four stone reliefs decorate the late Roman stage front, or "Phaedrus bema," of the Theater of Dionysos in Athens. The reliefs depict scenes from the life of Dionysos: 1. The Birth of Dionysos; 2. Entrance of Dionysos into Attica; 3. Sacred Marriage of Dionysos and the Basilinna; 4. The Enthronement of Dionysos. The iconography of the reliefs, although related to Dionysiac sarcophagi and to the late Hellenistic Ikarios reliefs, possesses a high de…
