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 close scrutiny of its stance, proportions, and style indicate that it is more likely to be a Roman Classical creation than a variant of a Greek original. Much about the piece is Roman in conception. A date in the first half of the second century A. D. and a location in the peristyle court adjoining the Corinth Theater are argued
