Aerial view of Corinth and its ports. The drawing is in landscape format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The city develops in the lower part of the drawing. It is protected by a fortified wall. The forum is located in the middle of the houses. It comprises a vast courtyard bordered by the Lulia basilica, the southern basilica, the Peirene spring, the temple of Apollo and two other temples. On the left of the drawing, you can see the theater and the odeon. The amphitheatre stands on the right. The northern port of Lechaion, on the left, and the southern port of Cenchrea, on the right, are located on the Mediterranean coast. They are separated by an isthmus.
